GRADE LEVEL KEYGrade levels are intended to provide teachers and students with a general indication of the level of difficulty. The grading system is as follows:

EARLY ELEMENTARY• Basic five-finger positions with minimal movement over

the keyboard. • Beginning level single-note melodies; some basic, easy

to read, left-hand harmonies. • Basic rhythm patterns, including quarter, half and whole notes.

MID-ELEMENTARY • Slight extension of five-finger positions, with some scale

patterns and octave movement. • Melody and harmony; beginning to include some basic chords. • Rhythm patterns now include eighths, dotted quarters

and triplets. • Introduction of new time signatures (i.e. 6/8, 2/4). • Key signatures progressing up to two or three sharps or flats.

LATER ELEMENTARY • Movement over keyboard more extensive. • Some simple voicing being shared between the hands. • More complicated rhythms introduced (i.e. syncopation). • Key signatures include two or three sharps or flats; some use

of accidentals.

EARLY INTERMEDIATE• Becoming more pianistic, with added use of dynamics

and phrasing. • Concept of balancing melody and harmony introduced. • Beginning to emphasize importance of tone quality and how

it is achieved. • Various key signatures.

MID-INTERMEDIATE• Increased technical difficulty (i.e. consecutive octaves, thirds,

running sixteenths, trills, mordents). • Any key signature possible. • Rhythms are more complicated (styles such as jazz,

boogie, ragtime, etc.).

LATER INTERMEDIATE• Extensive movement over the keyboard, requiring fairly

advanced reading and technical skills. • Very colorful, musically intricate. • Technically challenging (i.e. passages of large chords,

scale patterns, grace notes, etc.).

EARLY ADVANCED, ADVANCED AND VERY ADVANCED • These levels include the most difficult repertoire/concert

selections and for effective performance require a high level of technical proficiency and musical understanding.
