Grade examination is divided into two categories-theoretical examination and practical examination, with eight grades in total. From grade one to grade eight, ABRSM provides piano students with one practical goal after another in all stages of their study. Through the test of students' abilities and detailed written evaluation by examiners, teachers, students and parents can objectively and concretely understand their own strengths and weaknesses, so as to constantly adjust and improve and gradually walk better on the road of music learning. In order to cultivate students' comprehensive musical quality and ability, candidates who apply for CET-6 and above must first obtain a Grade-5 certificate of musical theory. The performance examination at each level includes four aspects: performance, skills, listening and sight-reading, as follows:

1. Play three different genres of music (three pieces)-30 points each, a total of 90 points. Compared with domestic graded programs, it can enrich and comprehensively cultivate children's musical literacy and be more humanized. The three works cover different genres such as Baroque, Classicism, Romanticism, Jazz Style and Modern Style. In the examination, besides the correct rhythm and pitch, syntax, stress, touch method, sound quality change, speed control and expression processing are also the criteria for scoring. Music is more than skill, which is the remarkable feature of imperial examination. Examiners should listen to the whole song carefully, and candidates can watch the soundtrack.

2. scales and arpeggios)-2 1 minute in total. It is more comprehensive, more detailed and more demanding than domestic exams. In addition to major and minor scales and arpeggios, different playing methods are required, such as breaking up, playing with hands eight degrees apart, up, down, in the same direction, reverse, etc., and parallel scales of three or six degrees and different playing methods of legato and staccato should be added above level 6.

3. Listening test)-Total score 18. Test students' mastery of the basic elements of music such as rhythm and pitch. The higher the level, the stronger the knowledge and understanding of music. For example, the judgment of two solfeggio exercises, various terms, chords, tone sandhi and so on. The form of comprehension questions changed from "question and answer" to "discussion" (Band 8), and the interaction with examiners gradually increased. Although it is difficult for candidates who are tone-deaf to score in pitch, intonation is not the whole of music. A good sense of rhythm and a comprehensive understanding of the strength, speed, timbre and genre of music can also reflect good quality. Although the listening project has the lowest score, it can fully reflect the level of teachers.

Videotape)-2 1 min. Students prepare a strange ditty in half a minute, and the complexity of its length, rhythm and tonality increases with the increase of the series. Candidates try to show the correctness of rhythm, pitch, strength and playing method when playing. The key to scoring lies in rhythm rather than intonation, and in completeness rather than accuracy. Rhythm is the skeleton of music, and notes are just the flesh and blood on the skeleton. It is obvious which is more important. Never turn around because you played the wrong note, but walk forward with the cheek until the music is over. The total score of the exam is 150, and the score is divided into four grades: You Bian 130- 150. Fortunately, everyone started to learn piano because they like music. Learning piano is like climbing a mountain. Some people insist, others give up. Wise teachers know how to lead-they put road signs on mountain roads, so that children can have the most fundamental unremitting motivation to pay and gain along the way and protect themselves-interest and climb towards the next goal. ABRSM is a signpost of hidden treasure.
