music grades / levels

Author: Ed
Date: 2001-04-11 13:21

I'm also an adult beginner (33 years old & playing for 3 years with no former music experience) and find this site to be extremely informative & encouraging.

I've seen folks talking about "grade 3, etc." pieces. Is there a list somewhere of music of differing levels of relative difficulty.

Thanks.

Ed

The UK grading system for clarinet is described at http://www.abrsm.ac.uk/clarinet.html

This includes a list of pieces at each level.

I am from Florida and this is our Solo and Ensemble music list. This one part of the website is the clarinet list.

This site is links to all the solos for whatever instrument you click on

I hope this helped you a little.

There's NYSSMA lists too, the New York school association. They're out of six levels.

it depends on where you live. There are grades here in Australia completely different to England or the US

The US has no nation wide standards of grade levels. Other countries, England, Canada, Australia and perhaps others do but it varies somewhat from country to country.

Various state organizations assign levels for solos but it can vary somewhat from state to state in the number of levels and thus what pieces are considered to be what level.

Band music is often referred to be of grade level "x" but again there is no nationwide standard but publisher's generally assign a value based on there own estimate of difficulty. Typically this seems to have settled in on a scale using 1 to 5.

Thanks all for the help - those lists will give me a way to see where I'm at as well as an idea of where to go from here.
