Piano 2021-2023. Grade 1
This collection brings together 12 carefully selected pieces for the Trinity College London Grade 1 piano exam, put together by a panel of experienced educators. Each piece comes with helpful performance notes, giving both students and teachers practical guidance on how to approach the repertoire with confidence. The exercises required for the exam are included too, all freshly composed for the 2021-2023 syllabus. What makes this series worth attention is its genuine breadth. Styles range widely across each grade, and there are more pieces per volume than in previous editions, making it a rich resource for any young pianist building their repertoire. A more comprehensive extended edition is also available, which bundles in scales and arpeggios, a digital collection of nine additional pieces (with their own performance notes), and downloadable audio for all 21 pieces. The track listing itself is rather charming. Baroque staples from Clarke and Handel sit alongside Türk's gentle 'Arioso', while livelier offerings like 'Pirate Stomp', 'Stealth Mode', and 'The Very Vicious Velociraptor' bring a playful energy that younger learners will find genuinely appealing. It's a thoughtful mix of the traditional and the fun, well-suited to keeping a beginner both motivated and musically grounded.
