Can anyone give a shorrt paragraph on what is expected by the examiners for piano in each grade.

eg.. Grade 1 Examiner is looking for a basic musical ability and expects most notes to be known ???
Grade 2 Examiner looking for good playing at correct speed with only small errors????

I have no idea if the above would be expected but that's the sort of information I am looking for.

Mike, there was a discussion on this back in September.

Here it is.

Also look at the marking criteria in These Music Exams. It's quite well set out there.
