A Great First Step Into AMEB Grades

Grade 1 is an important milestone for a developing piano student.

The repertoire gives players an opportunity to apply the fundamentals they've been learning to complete pieces of music, helping develop skills such as:

• Music reading
• Rhythm and timing
• Coordination between both hands
• Dynamics
• Articulation
• Phrasing
• Musical expression
• Performance confidence

For students preparing for their first graded AMEB exam, it also provides experience working towards a clear musical goal.

Piano for Leisure

AMEB's Piano for Leisure syllabus offers an alternative to the traditional classical piano pathway, with repertoire selected to provide an engaging approach to learning and performance.

It's particularly popular with students who enjoy developing their piano skills through a broader range of musical styles while still following the structure and progression of the AMEB grade system.

Useful Beyond the Exam

You don't need to be sitting an exam to use the book.

The Grade 1 Series 3 repertoire can also provide teachers with structured material for lessons and give students achievable pieces to work towards at home.

That makes it useful both as an examination book and as additional repertoire for a developing pianist.
