New Examination Syllabus wef 2011

The Yamaha Electone Examination "A Course" is going through a major overhaul and be prepared for shock come year 2011. You may click this link "Examination Syllabus" to read in details. For now, let me highlight the important changes:

• No more aural and listening evaluation from grade 10 to 6. But candidates taking grade 13, 12 or 11 are still subject to the evaluation.
• No more 'impromptu' improvisation. Depending on the grade that you're sitting, you need to prepare 3 to 6 impro pieces in advance and the examiner will listen to one of them.
• No need to practise for up to 7 exam pieces. 4 pieces for all grade from next year.
• Compulsory pieces. Something new here, whether you like it or not and you are required to include 1 compulsory piece.

I have sort out the Compulsory Pieces and Improvisation Pieces for various grade below:

• Grade 10A
• Grade 9A
• Grade 8A
• Grade 7A
• Grade 6A

You may download the PDF files to your computer and print the compulsory / improvisation pieces for your own use.

Wishing you GOOD LUCK!!!
