How to pass electone exam with distinction?

The Yamaha lower grade (gr.9-gr.6) examinations are marked on a scale of five levels: A, B, C, D, and E on the marking sheet.

Each grade stands for the following evaluation:

• A: Very good (+2)
• B: Good (+1)
• C: Satisfactory, but passing (0)
• D: Needs practice (-1)
• E: Completely unsatisfactory (This grading for any subject will constitute a 'Fail' result regardless for all other subjects)

Overall result is a 'Pass' if all subjects add up to '0' point or above.

Distinction is awarded if all subjects are grade 'A' or 'B' and there are at least 3 'A' grades in 3 different subjects (ie:You must score at least an 'A' in each subject).

The three subjects are as follow:

FREE SELECTION

• Musical Expression: articulation, dynamic, pedaling and etc
• Rhythm: sense of rhythm, steady tempo
• Technique: fingering and posture

SIGHT PLAYING

• Effort to produce the image and the atmosphere of the piece
• Musical flow
• Accuracy

IMPROVISATION / ACCOMPANIMENT

• Harmonic flow, appropriate selection of chords and accompaniment
• Musical performance, dynamic, tempo, musical ideas

Finally, I would like to wish all you guys GOOD LUCK! Cheers ;-)
