Grades are levels. You start at zero, and after learning all the new stuff in each level, you play in an exam to an examiner. You play a few songs, you play a few scales and you answer a few questions. If you do well, you advance in grades. They get progressively MUCH harder as it goes along.Reapd said:Excuse my ignorance, but what does grade mean?GrinningManiac said:Piano, Grade 6

Grade 6 is "The Grade" to which everyone aspires. At 6, you know all you need to know to play any piece. Grades 7 and 8 (8 is highest) are basically learning how to play REALLY stupidly difficult pieces.
My dream is to one day play Hungarian Rhapsody. First I will play it properly, like this (WATCH IT all the way through, please. It's the greatest piano piece on earth)
Then I will learn to play it with a friend...like Victor Borge here (Victor was the world's greatest, funniest music-based comedian)
WTF you joined in 2008 yet you only have 2 posts? You mus be a very lonely man.pianoman said:As evidenced by the name, I play piano. I also play drums and sing.
I really want to learn guitar at some point.
I play piano and recorder, and used to play violin, but left it. I want to learn either cello or percussion. My sister plays cello, so does my aunt, my mother plays both recorder and flute, my grandfather played piano and organ,and many others of my family (that is, on my mother side) play an instrument, as we come from a big line of musicians.Reapd said:I play all the sax's, but normally play the Bari and Tenor. I want to learn Bass Guitar, and Drums.
What instruments do you play? What instruments do you want to learn?
YAY I'm not the only flutist here. Yeah.InvisibleSeal said:I play flute and sing, and a tiny bit of keyboard.
