I am your grade seven piano examiner!!! Mwahahaha!
i've got my 7th grade piano exams VERY soon.
would anyone happen to have a list of all the scales etc. that would be required?
I know what they are...it's just, I want to make sure I've practised everything because there's quite a lot now (for me anyway)
thanks

it depends on whether you're using the 2008 or the 2009 syllabus. both are still valid, and the scale requirements have changed significantly.i've got my 7th grade piano exams VERY soon.

The best advice would be to stop posting on BOS and start practicing.
I always felt the examiners were more interested in the pieces, but obviously scales are also very important.

both are important, pieces are worth slightly more and leave a bigger impression, but scales must be good too if you want to do well.
i'd suggest warming up with scales (choose one key everyday to practice intensely), before heading to the pieces. it's tempting to sit down and play your pieces immediately, but its better to do scales first (otherwise you'll never feel like playing scales after!)

hey I was wondering whether anyone ever got bonus points for doing 8th grade? like it says here- http://www.unsw.edu.au/images/ced/UNSWEliteAthletesPerformersBonusPoints.pdf
I did my 7th grade piano for leisure last weekend and I'm wondering whether I should do 8th this year- if I can get bonus points then I will.

i'm so glad i finished all my grades a couple of weeks ago.
not having that disgusting guilty when you havnt practised your scales is fab.

no, i totally agree. i had the meanest examiner ever once, she gave me an A+ and nice comments, nicest lady in the world gave me a B and really nasty comments...
its the same with adjuticators, and some schoolteachers. one i swore hated me, told my mum i was amazing and super-talented.

sorry to double-post, but if piano is the same as cello (and i'm sure it is, i've done a few exams in each) the bar hardly moves at all... well, it does in a way, but because you've done seven and learnt the stuff for eighth, it doesnt feel difficult.
on a slightly different note, does anyone know how different Amus is from 8th? everyone says its a huge deal, but the pieces, at least, don't feel that hard. is the general knowledge huge or something?

In grades 1-7..it's just a matter of being able to keep in time and playing the notes..
8 onwards..it's all about whether you can actually play the music..with emotion, the tonality etc etc

the jump from 8th to amus is HUGE. it doesn't really feel like it when you just sit down and play, but if you record yourself, you'll notice a huge difference in your performance style.
the pieces aren't really that much harder at all, its just how well you express the emotion. its a performance diploma after all!

thanks.
i think that should be okay, and everyone says my technique's good, so hopefully i'll not do too badly.
i dont really expect to pass, but it would be nice...
since i didnt know i was doing an exam this year until about a month or two ago, and my exam's soon, so i'm pretty ok with whatever happens, its not like i've been focusing on this for ages or anything, so i can't complain if i fail.
