Summer vacation is the time for piano grading. Recently, many parents have asked about piano grading. Many parents are puzzled by piano grading: there are so many kinds of grading in society, and the fees vary widely. Which is the most authoritative? How many levels are equivalent to professional level? Here, I try to talk about the piano grading test, hoping to bring some confusion to parents. First of all, let's talk objectively about China's piano exam. In recent ten years, a large number of grading units have appeared in China. Some organizers are mainly music schools, such as Central Conservatory of Music, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Xinghai Conservatory of Music, etc. Some are mainly music associations, such as China Music Association and Guangdong Music Association. Some are mainly local education committees, and some are mainly professional colleges. There are many people who come from overseas, such as royal academy of music Joint Committee Examination (referred to as the Imperial Examination) and the St, and even companies or training centers that have something to do with music and art can undertake it. Guangdong Music Association, China Music Association, Xinghai Conservatory of Music and Imperial Examination are the main candidates for Guangdong Examination. Let me take these as examples to introduce them. Piano grading is generally divided into 10 grade, and some have a performance grade after the tenth grade. The imperial examination is an amateur examination from grade one to grade eight, followed by the examination of junior diploma and advanced diploma. The content of the grading examination is similar in China. Three or four designated pieces of music with different styles, scales, chords and arpeggios are selected from each level. After the fifth level, candidates can take any level examination at will. The categories of each level of the imperial examination include: performance, listening, sight-reading, and music theory (music theory is not required before the fifth level, but must be passed after the fifth level). If you want to take the professional diploma exam, you must pass Band 8 performance and Band 8 music theory before you can register. Teaching materials: Each piano grading test has its own grading test materials. For example, the textbooks for the Guangdong Grade Test include 1-5, 6-8 and 9- performance. The price of this textbook is not very high. Each level and each subject of the imperial examination textbook are separated. For example, the fifth level includes five books: Performance, Technology, Sightseeing, Listening and Music Theory. Each book is very thin, with little content, and the price is relatively expensive, ranging from 60 yuan to 65,438+000 yuan, and the whole set costs 300 yuan to 500 yuan, and it cannot be copied. You must buy the original at the examination center. Examination time: domestic grading examination, twice a year, basically during the winter and summer vacations; Imperial examination, only once a year, music theory can be tested three times. Examination place: It's very convenient to take the grade examination in China, and several Guangzhou musical instruments can do it, such as Vision Wei Musical Instrument Store, Philharmonic Musical Instrument Store, Datong Musical Instrument Store and Perth Musical Instrument Store. At present, only Xinghai Concert Hall in Guangzhou can take the imperial examination. Examiner: Domestic exams are all judges of the Professional Piano Association;

The imperial examination is said to be an expert sent by Britain. Examination fee: domestic examination between 80 yuan and 300 yuan. Imperial examination: 500 to 7000 yuan. After introducing the graded exam, many parents may want to ask: which graded exam is more authoritative? The emperor came from abroad. Did foreign countries admit it? Below I will talk about my personal views and only give parents a reference value. My point is: no matter how authoritative the exam is, it is only an amateur level, and no matter how advanced it is, it is still an amateur level! Amateur level does not need to be recognized abroad! Therefore, in my opinion, there is no comparability between different levels, and no one is more authoritative. Children who learn piano can test whatever they want, so they don't have to show off when they pass the exam! As a parent or teacher, you don't need to hang your child's certificate on your face. If children have the ability to hold concerts, they can show off. Grading is only a means of assessment after a stage of learning. The relevant certificate only means that you can successfully play several tracks and pass the examination, not others. Perhaps many parents often associate certificates with English test scores and computer test scores in exam-oriented education. In fact, it has no relevant functions, and you can't rely on these certificates to find a job. In Europe, students are rarely assessed by grading, but school concerts are often held to give each student a chance to perform, so as to test which tracks students have learned and what level they have reached during this period. The teacher then finds out the shortcomings according to the students' performance and puts forward suggestions for correction. Playing the piano should be a persistent thing, and it should be developed in an all-round and balanced way. If children are asked to recite several songs repeatedly to take the exam, it is not conducive to their study! Many parents in the society are eager for quick success and instant benefit, asking their children to learn the piano quickly, only playing graded music, mainly backrest. I think as long as I finish the exam, I will master a skill, and I will not learn it after the exam. On the other hand, in order to meet the demands of parents, many teachers are eager for success, do not follow scientific progress, and unilaterally pursue exams. It even took a year to prepare for the exam, which led to the growth of seedlings. Moreover, teachers also compete with each other. Who can let the children finish the exam in the shortest time, who has the greatest ability. Because the grading examination is not just a simple grading examination activity, it has been linked to the economy, has been marketized, and there is a chain of interests behind it. Only by striving for students can grading examination institutions make a profit. It is understood that each student needs to pay 80~200 yuan's grade examination fee, and some even need 7,000 yuan. The market is huge, and it also brings many problems. As a result, experts and scholars are discussing the same question: the utilitarian harm of music classification and where to go. In my opinion, we should not shy away from the utility of music grading. Because we are all ordinary people, learning music has the same purpose as learning other kinds of knowledge and skills, either as a profession, as a hobby or as a pastime. The original intention of parents is the same: some are preparing for their children's future studies; Some hope that children can learn one more skill, as the saying goes, "multi-skills don't weigh down"; Some hope that children will take this as their career in the future; What's more, because children have this interest, it doesn't matter whether they have a career in the future. But once the entrance examination is linked to employment, it is difficult to escape the word "utility". Therefore, what I want to tell parents is that we should also look at the graded examination from a philosophical perspective. There are both good and bad aspects in the graded examination. We should make use of the good side and try to avoid the bad side. If you always don't take the grade examination, you will lose an assessment method and a short-term learning motivation. Of course, it is not good to pursue exams too much. You can take the appropriate exam at the appropriate time. As for which exam to take, I think it really doesn't matter. There is no need to spend thousands of dollars to take the exam. The essence of all exams is the same. Doesn't mean that expensive is necessarily a good authority. Take the exam if you like! In short, whether we can correctly understand the grading test depends on whether our parents and teachers can correct the attitude of learning the piano and respect the laws of art! Letting children learn piano in their spare time should create a happy atmosphere, so that children can finally love and enjoy music, instead of forcing children to accept music and learn piano painfully for the sake of learning piano. If they are allowed to learn classical music as an aspect of improving their literacy and enjoy this excellent cultural heritage of mankind with a free and relaxed attitude, children will benefit endlessly for life.

Lost Summer was released on 2010-10-1202: 06:11* * After reading the landlord's words, there was a deep * * sound. Because I have a lot to say and I'm worried. At present, many parents of children who learn piano are learning piano for utilitarian purposes, just to get certificates and show off their achievements, while ignoring the music itself and the enthusiasm of learning music for their children's growth. At the same time, many training schools are only for profit, which is very worrying.
