• 1 AS/A2 Music 6MU01 6MU04 December 2011 GCE Music Difficulty Levels • December 2011 2 Introduction Difficulty Levels This guide is provided as an aid for checking grade levels of some of the more common pieces likely to be offered on instruments frequently presented for examination. Where an instrument is not covered by this list, teachers and examiners are advised to consult copies of recent graded exam syllabuses, many of which are readily available for reference online. The inclusion of any piece on the following list is for grading purposes only; the guide is not a syllabus or a list of recommended repertoire candidates may select any other appropriate repertoire for examination. Where a piece exists now, or existed in the past, on the syllabuses of more than one exam board, the higher or highest grade is that which Edexcel will accept for GCE AS and A2 level Music examinations. Difficulty Level Codes Edexcel uses three difficulty levels: S (standard), MD (more difficult) and H (higher).

The mark achieved by a candidate for each piece performed is dependent upon the difficulty of the music offered. Performances at MD or H level are scaled according to the grid to be found in the Specification (page 37 for 6MU01, page 82 for 6MU04).

Performances that are easier than standard level are unable to be credited with marks in the top mark bands for all marking criteria. Detailed instructions for the marking process are set out in the Specification.

At AS level (6MU01) the standard level of difficulty is Grade 5 The following will apply at AS level: Grade 5 = S level Grade 6 = MD level Grade 7 or higher* = H level At A2 level (6MU04) the standard level of difficulty is Grade 6 The following will apply at A2 level: Grade 6 = S level Grade 7 = MD level Grade 8 or higher* = H level * For some instruments and for voice the difficulty levels are occasionally given as Grade 9. This indicates the appearance of these pieces on diploma examination syllabuses. Grade 9 should always be considered at H level; no extra credit is given for the performance of music from more advanced syllabuses.

I am a high school junior, going into my senior year in just a few months. I recently made a post on here asking for advice. Here is the post I made: Quote: Hello all! After being a long-time lurker, I've decided to come forward and ask you all directly for advice. Backstory: I'm currently a high school junior (16 years old). There are two other junior trumpet players, and no senior ones.

Out of us three juniors, for the first chair test this year (November 2014), one of them got 1st chair and the other got 2nd chair, while I got 8th. On the second chair test this year (January 2015), they both maintained their 1st and 2nd chair spots (both of them waiting until the day of the test to begin practicing for it), while I only moved to up 6th chair.

For the concert music we play, there's 3 different trumpet parts: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. You guys know the whole deal. Well, our 1st chair trumpet has played 1st part since 9th grade and he's always been near the top.

Our 2nd chair trumpet has played 1st part since the very beginning of last year, our sophomore year. Here we are, almost to senior year, and I'm still stuck on 2nd part because I never do well on chair tests. I've gone through months of constant ridicule from the other two juniors. I've been told 'stop playing, you sound like crap', I've been scornfully asked 'how hard is it to play WELL?'

, I've been told 'you being first chair is the stupidest thing I've ever heard', and so much more. I've never been so discouraged with something I love doing, but I'm now starting to care less about what the others think of me, and just focus on the music and improving myself. What I wanted to ask you all is: - What should I work on as a musician altogether? Mentally or physically. - What should I practice to improve my playing? - How often should I practice? - What exercises would be beneficial to my playing?

I'm looking for as much advice I can get, even if you feel it's unrelated. Seriously, ANY and ALL advice is wanted and is much appreciated. The advice I got from the people on here was wonderful and truly helpful. What I wanted to ask you guys specifically this time is: What specific books/exercises you would recommend I practice? I start my summer vacation in a few days and I want to make the most out of it, and practice as much as I can. I just want to hear from you guys what material you would recommend that I practice. _________________ Oakley dstdenis Heavyweight Member Joined: 25 May 2013 Posts: 2061 Location: Atlanta GA Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2015 6:42 pm Post subject: Hello, It would be a wild guess to recommend specific studies without having heard you play to know your current level of development.
