(1) How much is the piano music theory course in Imperial Capital?

That depends on where you study and who you learn from.

Shanghai? Guangzhou? Or a second-tier city?

Are you going to the music store to find a teacher? Or a teacher introduced to you by a friend?

There is a gap between piano lessons and music theory lessons according to the region and the level of teachers, generally ranging from 80/ lesson to several thousand yuan.

⑵ The more specific the contents and methods of the Royal Piano Elementary Teaching Diploma Examination, the better!

Brief introduction to the grading examination of Royal Conservatory of Music

Teacher Zhang Qilin of Guangzhou Xinle Music Studio.

In the imperial examination, as a candidate, since 2003, he has passed the five-level music theory, the eight-level piano theory, the eight-level music theory, the professional diploma of teachers and the professional diploma of performance. On the other hand, as a teacher, I am also committed to promoting and teaching various imperial courses. What attracts me to the emperor?

That is its practicality, fairness and internationality. There are many exams organized by various institutions in China. What is a perfect, fair and reasonable examination system? I think first of all, this music exam can make candidates get clear goals from the carefully designed exam curriculum structure, and really get a comprehensive improvement in the preparation process; Secondly, the evaluation of this music exam is based on a notarized and reliable standard. The person in charge of the evaluation is a musician with lofty status and impartiality. He (she) has received a high degree of training, and now he (she) is often supervised to maintain consistent standards. Third, the achievements and certificates obtained in this music examination are recognized by the society.

First, the emperor's technical grade examination

Imperial examinations are divided into 1-8 grades and preparatory grades. I take the eight-level model as an example for your reference only.

30 seconds

Preparation time:

Site preparation, you can try to play.

From the above table, we can see that the Royal Examination is comprehensive and flexible. Many students originally thought playing the piano was boring, but they became interested in music after passing the imperial examination. That's because they didn't know how to appreciate music before; I don't know how to appreciate my performance, so I won't be happy that I can play good music, and of course I won't work hard to play good music. This will lead to a vicious circle, and I will become less and less interested in playing the piano. However, after passing the Royal College Entrance Examination, their learning attitude has obviously changed. Great progress has been made in music appreciation and performance.

As for the difficulty of the imperial examination, people have different opinions. The key depends on whether the candidates have received formal and comprehensive music training for a long time. Among them, the most headache for candidates is listening test and sight-reading. There are many students in China who have passed Grade 8 or even Grade 10. They came to learn the Emperor's listening class from me before the exam, but they panicked and found themselves at a loss. For these students, I can only try my best to teach them some answering skills to cope with the exam. In fact, the best time to train people's listening should be before 13 years old, especially before 6 years old. If we can grasp these golden times, it is not difficult to cultivate good sense of music, rhythm, tonality, multi-voice hearing and fixed pitch hearing. I can only sigh when I see many students who play the piano very well but can't get high marks because they failed in the listening test!

As for sight-reading, I think it is one of the items that the imperial examination restricts candidates from taking the exam. The difficulty of sight-reading is about two or three levels lower than that of candidates, and only 30 seconds of preparation time is not enough for a high-level audition. For example, if you only have level 3, but want to skip level 5, then the link of sight-reading will definitely make it difficult for you to complete. So don't rush for success, it's not too late to lay a good foundation and take the exam again.

Passing Band 8 means that you have passed the technical level exam. But in fact, how high is the level of Grade 8? I don't know, a little high or low. Personally, I think that in the world of music, eight paragraphs are actually just the beginning of real learning. Speaking of playing skills, posture, timbre, music processing, etc. Band 8 is only in a very preliminary exploration, and there are still many skills that need to be corrected by senior teachers.

Second, the diploma examination

If you want to continue to improve your level through the exam after passing Grade 8, you can take a higher level exam, which is what people call the performance level. Speaking of performance level is just a conventional term. In fact, it is more accurate and meaningful to evaluate with three professional diplomas. The Royal Conservatory of Music offers three types of professional diploma examinations: teaching, playing and conducting; There are three levels for each type:

1.DipABRSM's first-class professional diploma, some people call it the junior performance diploma. If you think that the first-level professional diploma is equivalent to the ninth-level examination, it is all wet. Although it is a primary performance, it requires much higher than Grade 8.

2. The second-level professional diploma of 2.LRSM, which some people call the Advanced Performance Diploma or Associate Academician Performance Diploma, is not easy to pass the exam. There may be two foreign examiners present to supervise the grading during the exam.

3. The third-level professional diploma of 3.FRSM, known as the Hanlin Performance Diploma, is the highest level in the current imperial examination and the one with the least admission. Many people who have passed this diploma are already famous local pianists or famous teachers.

I have a profound experience when I take the professional diploma exam, that is, you must have a very comprehensive and thorough understanding of the papers you submit, and you can make a divergent interpretation of every sentence in the papers. For example, when I took the diploma, I played Beethoven's pathetique sonata, and the examiner asked me what other Beethoven works I played. I replied: I also played the moonlight sonata, the storm, the first sonata, the emperor concerto and so on. He immediately asked me what the key of the first sonata was. How many sonatas and concertos does Beethoven have ... There are many similar problems caused by one sentence. Moreover, his questions are quick and specific, and there is no room for ambiguity at all, so candidates are required to accumulate rich relevant knowledge.

The defense of the teaching diploma should be fully prepared, because the oral examination of the teaching junior diploma lasts for 50 minutes, and the examiner will not only discuss the problems related to the thesis with the candidates, but also discuss the teaching difficulties of the King 6 track, from marking methods to playing methods, to pedaling methods and teaching methods. Therefore, candidates must not take chances, and must be prepared in a down-to-earth manner. Besides, I want to give you a suggestion. When entering the examination room, bring more music scores, teaching AIDS, even activity photos, prizes for students and other materials that are helpful for you to explain yourself.

In addition, in terms of performance, I think that in the junior performance diploma, the examiner pays more attention to the mastery of style. Therefore, it is best for candidates to choose more works from different periods when choosing music. The use of pedals should also be studied clearly. Different piano structures in different periods have different performances of pedals. Different composers use different pianos at different ages and have different requirements for the use of pedals. In addition, it is best to try playing the piano before the exam, because the general candidates may play less in the concert hall, and sometimes they are not suitable for the acoustic effect of the concert hall.

Third, the music theory examination

In addition to grade examination and professional diploma examination, there is another kind of examination that candidates are very concerned about; That's the music theory exam. The music theory exam is also divided into 1-8 grades, but the most people who take the exam are level 5, because they must pass the level 5 music theory exam to take the exam above level 6. The content of the five-level music theory examination includes scales, * * *, melody creation, musical terms and a brief introduction to the ending instruments. Band 8 music theory only needs to apply for the advanced diploma of LRSM teaching, and the examination content is more professional, which integrates the knowledge of composition, harmony, tone sandhi and orchestration. Higher diploma in teaching requires students to be at least 20 years old; Therefore, I don't think it is necessary for young candidates to spend a lot of time learning the music theory content of Grade 6-8 before this; We should still focus on learning to play, because before the age of 20, it is the golden age to cultivate playing skills.

A well-constructed music grading examination provides children with room for progress in the process of music development, and the success of the examination also allows students to gain the happiness of learning music through a sense of accomplishment. Although reading is not to get grades, the imperial examination did give us a platform for improvement and lit a bright light for people who teach and learn on the music road. I hope the sharing of the above experiences will be helpful to readers. Take a look. I wonder if it will help you!

1. If possible, there are two examiners for diploma exams at all levels. If this is not practical (for example, when there is only one examiner for each international organization), the documents and sound recording certificates will be sent back to London by the examiner and carefully examined by the joint commission headquarters. These procedures are detailed in the documents of the Diploma Examination Committee.

At all levels, there will be two examiners present. If possible, one examiner is an expert in the examination project and the other is a general expert. Each examiner marks the candidates independently. After the exam, the two examiners will discuss and reach a consensus after the candidates leave. The comprehensive evaluation form obtained by this procedure will be filled in by project experts and published after approval by the diploma Committee.

5] What did the emperor practice in piano listening?

To learn the piano, it is necessary to improve the ability of playing the piano fingers, listening to the rhythm with the ears and reading the music with the eyes. Listening practice is the ability to listen to rhythm, which belongs to the category of musical sense.

[6] What's the difference between imperial piano examination and domestic piano examination?

The imperial examination is relatively difficult, and the differences are as follows:

1. There are eight levels of amateur piano examination. The difficulty of Grade 8 is similar to that of Grade 10 in China, but please note that this is only the difficulty of the music.

2. China piano grading test is to play a few songs and leave after the bullet is finished, and then the examiner decides whether you pass or not; In addition to letting you play a few tunes, the Emperor's piano grading test will also examine the level of musical theory, listening, understanding of music, mastery of common sense of music, sight-reading and so on.

Therefore, for China's failed amateur piano education, students in China must really love, learn and understand music if they want to pass the emperor's exam.

3. China has nothing but playing music. The exam-oriented education in China makes most candidates only play music; During the imperial examination, the examiner may ask the questions just mentioned, and the examination will be visual and auditory.

(6) Extended reading of Piano Emperor course:

As an international art education brand with a history of 1.28 years and covering more than 1.000 countries and regions, in 2009, Dileko set up representative offices in Shanghai and East China. Up to now, more than 30,000 candidates have taken the Imperial Music Examination, and the reference number is increasing by 30% every year.

According to michael john Eliot, CEO of royal academy of music Joint Commission Examination Grade (ABRSM), this is a bridge of cultural exchange between China and Britain, which gives more students "one more choice".

ABRSM, founded by the four national treasure colleges of British music and art education, provides one-on-one music grading evaluation for the whole world and is recognized as the most authoritative music evaluation system in the world.

At present, more than 600,000 candidates worldwide take this music exam every year. The categories and subjects of imperial examinations include 35 kinds of musical instruments, vocal music, music theory and professional diploma examinations, which are suitable for music learners at all levels.

After more than a century, the emperor has become the gold standard of the "Crown" grade examination. The king's music grade examination mainly includes music theory examination and performance examination, with eight grades in total.

Candidates can continue to choose Imperial Vocational Diploma Examination after obtaining Grade 8 certificate. Teachers, candidates and parents can know the advantages and disadvantages of candidates through the tests of performance, listening, sight-reading and music theory, as well as the detailed evaluation of examiners' words.

The judges of the imperial examination are composed of more than 700 international senior music experts. They came to each country and region in turn in accordance with strict professional regulations, and conducted on-site examinations for each candidate.

Through the experiential education system of Emperor Music, the concept of "artistic progress brings joy to life" is spread to music lovers all over the world.

After the establishment of the Imperial Examination Shanghai Representative Office, it devoted itself to the promotion in East China. In the past eight years, test sites have been set up in Suzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, Wuxi and other cities for teaching and teacher training.

Moreover, more and more China elements are integrated into the music system of the Emperor. According to reports, in recent years, the works of He Lvting, Tan Dun and other famous musicians in China have been included in the examination syllabus and will be shared with China culture and music lovers through the examination channel.
