Hi all
Has anyone/DC taken the ABRSM "Initial Grade" in piano?
Is this a new thing? I played piano to grade 5 as a child (>25yrs ago) and don't remember hearing about this grade. DC is learning now, started with online during lockdown, now on F2F and I've had a look at the grade 1 pieces and DC will not be ready for these for some time I don't think...they seem a lot harder than I remember grade 1 being! Is this new "initial grade" basically like the old grade 1?
I am thinking of entering DC for initial grade but is it worth it? It would be nice from an "achievement" point of view but welcome everyone's thoughts/experiences with this....
