Your demonstration is so helpful to those students who are going to prepare the exam in 2023-24! (Btw this syllabus is really more difficult than last two years. Not just grade 5, but also grade 3 and 4🥲)
@@HampsteadPianoAcademy I'm still studying the pieces for my junior students, it's hard to choose...high demand of skills with complex chords and rhythm.
This is amazing! Very helpful for my exam! I'm 13 years old and I just passed my Grade 4 Exam with a merit! I'm hoping I can pass my Grade 5 exam as well. I chose A3, B2, and C2!
Based on my experience of having students play these so far I'd say: A1- This one's actually easier than it sounds. Everyone seems to get it fairly quickly. In terms of dynamics and articulation, it's all very straightforward. Just don't keep practicing it fast since that'll make it get worse. A3- Some of the transitions in the first section and synchronizing the hands in the second section can be tricky but, overall, it's also very playable. B1- Probably the hardest one. The multiple voices throughout and constant modulations in the middle part make it quite challenging, along with need to make the melody stand out and be connected. B2- Harder than it seems. Everyone seems to have trouble getting the fingering and slurs right. C1- Very playable. C3- Chords can be difficult to memorize, since most students aren't used to jazz harmony. Also difficult to get the character right in a way that doesn't make it sound boring.
I love this video! Very helpful and thank you so much! I chose A3, B1, and C1. I feel these are good practice to improve techniques. I particularly like B3 you played, the staccato is played very effective (My fingers bounce high that slows down the speed. I’m working on it😊)- quite a challenge to keep one hand relaxed the other controlled and bouncy to a fast tempo. The finger movements are great. The wrist movement is also very helpful. The camera angle is placed well. You must be a very experienced teacher!
Hi! You may remember me I'm Ryan and I skipped from grade 3 to 5 and I'm pretty sure like a year ago I told you that I skipped grade 1 and 2 lol Btw ur vids are very helpful
Thanks, I will take grade 5 exam in a matter of time, I chose A2, A3, B2 and C1, I am still learning C1, I hope I will pass my exam! :D PS. I subscribed to you!
Thankyou very much midnight7454! Wish you best of luck for your exam. I am sure you will do well, I see you are planning to play 4 pieces, so assume you will submitting a recording =)
Wow this is rlly good! You have earned a new subscriber here as it helped me a lot! The pieces for grades have gotten so much harder this year! I’m doing A.3: Jesters Jig B.1: Minnelied C.1: In the Groove
@@HampsteadPianoAcademyI am choosing a B piece for my 10 years old son, hesitating between Schumann’s B10 ( of strange lands and people) and B3 (Philomela). Could you please advise which one is easier to learn for a young pianist?
Good vid! I choose A2 B1 C2 A3in grade 5 but I’m not sure how to play the lower Mordent note in the a3 ,Every time I play that note ,I accidentally played a trill😅
Hey I'm starting my grade 5 after Christmas ,after skipping a grade 4. Honestly these look so hard but I will definitely wany to do Allegro for my A section piece. I don't know about the other ones yet
Honestly I do need to practice the squiggly line which is the spread out note. I'm doing sonatina in G MAJOR and the romance. The spread out chord is so hard and I have a performance on Saturday. Good luck to me I guess
This is going to help me a lot in grade 5 but I just started grade 4 and the pieces are getting harder I am currently learning ticklin toes it’s really hard for me
This is really helpful, anywhere other than imslp for finding free music? I am doing grade 5 annd I am having trouble finding a website for the A3 piece.
@emuroom please is that why you to crucify her? Oh come on! She tried, do you think it's easy? If it's so much easy why don't you go on and make yours. I love you so much @Hampstead

This is really helpful as I am starting to decide which pieces to decide. Do you ever do this for pieces that are on the syllabus but not in the book?

Thank you😀
Wow
Thanks HampsteadPianoAcademy
😇
This is helpful when piano students skipped from grade 3 to grade 5 piano like me😂
It’s possible! Which pieces have you chosen?
For Minuet and Trio, can you please explain bar 4 - Inverted Gruppetto and notes above it and bar 6 - tr and notes above it
For the turn in bar 4, play A-G-F#-G resolving to F#.
For the trill, first play D, as appoggiatura and then do the trill playing C#-D
thank you this helped me so much 😊

jester in the jig
wind in the willows
philomela
in the groove
a distant star in the stillness

Thank you for the video. In your opinion which one is the easiest from the a section
With regards to technique A2, but musically is the hardest. A3, once having the notes learnt, is not as difficult as it may seem either
Good vid! I choose A2 B1 C2 A3in grade 5 but I’m not sure how to play the lower Mordent note in the a3 ,Every time I play that note ,I accidentally played a trill😅
