Has Grade 1 piano got harder?
I took grade 1 in 1989 and my mother and I both agree that the level my son is playing at is a lot higher level than I ever played at (took grade 3).
As well as using both hands fully over 4 octaves, he's using the pedal, he does chords, staccato, different beats etc.
His teacher has said she's really pleased with his progress and if he continues at the rate he's going he'll be ready for Grade 1 in March.
I can't help but feel if he did Grade 1 in 1989 and continued at the rate he's progressing at he'll be taking Grade 4 in March!!!
So has it got harder? And is this the case for all instruments?
