Hi Karl,
Thank you for explaining that, it is really helpful.
The thing that you mention in the last paragraph is what I am seeing in the syllabus I am following too.
Grade 2 is all below the break with maybe a note or two above. Simple timing.
Grade 3 is swooping repeatedly across the break, back and forth over and over again, with some very fast sections. + dotted crotchets. Difficult!
Grade 4 is almost all quite slow and almost all above the break, but introduces much more complex timing, with upbeats of many different lengths.
It feels to me as though Grade 3 should actually take about three times as long as grade 2 and 4 do each.
Interestingly, I am the adult exception to your "if the hand is big enough" rule. My hands were not big enough, and I spent the last 2 years figuring that out and getting all my pinkie keys extended.
This is a really helpful thread justwannaplay - thank you for starting it!
Jen
