The main differences between the imperial piano grading test and the domestic piano grading test are as follows:
First, the content of the imperial examination is richer, which can provide more teaching support for teachers;
The second is the evaluation method of grades. In terms of qualification, it is more difficult for emperors, and domestic exams are more relaxed, with encouragement as the main factor.
The domestic grade examination only examines the performance of the track and the two-tone scale arpeggio. Teachers with the ability of curriculum analysis can study the musical literacy and technical ability that should be mastered at all levels from the repertoire of each level.
If only two tones are tested in the scale, students will probably only practice arpeggios of these two tones in the grading season every year. As we all know, scales are extremely important for improving piano skills.
The foreign grading examination (taking the Emperor's grading examination as an example) is rich in content, which requires listening, music analysis, solfeggio, playing repertoire and a large number of scales and arpeggios. Many teachers and parents may find it difficult to really understand the concept (abstract part), but the content (specific part) of the exam is different, which is clear and obvious.
The more detailed the assessment content, the greater the help to teachers and students. On the surface, the examination content outside the performance of these tracks increases the difficulty of the examination and makes many people flinch. In fact, these contents are all the musical qualities that a piano learner should have, and these musical qualities will eventually be implemented in the performance of the tracks.

Classification of piano grading:
Piano grading is divided into ten grades, and those who pass the formal examination organized by relevant institutions every year can get the grading certificate of the corresponding grade.
At present, there are mainly authoritative examinations organized by these institutions for piano grading in China:
1. Rating organized by the Music Rating Committee of the National Musicians Association.
Note: Twice a year, in winter and summer vacations, the registration place is generally in the provincial musicians' associations, such as the National Piano Examination in Shenyang, and the registration place is in the Liaoning Musicians' Association;
2. Piano Grading Test of Central Conservatory of Music
Note: There is no grade 10 in the piano examination of the Central Conservatory of Music, and grade 9 is its highest grade, but its grade 9 difficulty is better than the national grade 10. There should be registration points in all places. Shenyang Liu Ning Piano School is the test center of the Central Conservatory of Music in Liaoning, and there are corresponding agencies in other areas. ?
3. Shanghai Musicians Association Piano Grading Test
Note: everything in Shanghai is different from the whole country, such as the college entrance examination paper, so you can't take the piano grading test of the National Musicians Association in Shanghai. You can only take the exam every summer vacation, with the highest level of 10. However, it should be noted that it is difficult for Shanghai's graded test tracks to be universally used in the whole country. Shanghai's Grade 9 tracks are already 10 tracks in the whole country, and Shanghai's 10 tracks can be equivalent to10/in the national examination.
