I'm pretty sure this was rehearsed. He looks too relaxed and is getting everything perfectly. Edit: ok maybe except for the major 3rd interval (he said minor 3rd)
i was finding a level 8 ear test and came upon this, i think it was a major 3rd too but i couldnt tell for sure since i am already really bad at ear tests (like at first i knew major 3rd but recently for some reason i started saying minor third too, oops) :(
I took my grade 10 over two decades ago and I don't think I know what an augmented triad is. shame on me. I guess a lot has changed in the requirements. and of all the exams I've been through, I don't rememeber an examiner smiling ever. EVER
Really? I'm not trying to poo-poo you but I'm just a bass guitar player with zero in the way of training and I know that an augmented triad just means you raise the fifth. I'm almost 100% sure they would have covered that, it's super super basic.
@@MrEcted I suppose guitar players are more chord based as that's how you define what to play. you guys do chord progressions. but piano players aren't wired that way. outside of I'd say baroque and classical periods, chord progression isn't how we...learn and feel a piece. we're more about bringing out and shaping the melody that's hidden within everything else that's going on. I can tell you the distances (interval) between the notes, but I cannot tell you what that chord is called. I would imagine woodwind players to be similar. just my guess. either that or I suck 😂
@@pinkegg3179 Fair enough! I do have a biased perspective from my background, I'm sure there's a whole host of knowledge that a pianist would consider basic that has flown right over my head.
Pretty easy sight reading piece. If you've played through the grades, you will see they recycle old rcm songs for sight reading. The ear training is pretty funky. I better sharpen up on it now.
you'll get there, don't ever doubt yourself!most important thing is you have to enjoy it. so don't put too much pressure on yourself to a point where you start dreading it!
At 0:29 she plays a major 3rd (and he incorrectly identifies it as a minor 3rd). At 0:35, she plays a tritone that's diatonically related to the previous interval. Play them side by side, they belong to the same key and resolve nicely into each other.
Mr. Z They all mean the same thing (Augmented 4th, Diminished 5, Tri Tone) One of the ways I like to distinguish this interval in my practice is from Maria from West Side story. Nice catch with that interval from 0:29. She did play a Major 3rd.
yes, musicianship is not only about playing some RCM 10 repertoire and passing the test. I wish these had greater weight in the exam, so people could actually gave importance to it.
0:32 So that was suppose to be a Major 3rd right?? I'm doing the violin exam level 10 and this ear training part was some what of a pain, could someone please confirm?
@@nikolaslavov1199 I was gonna ask too. and I rememebr back then the day before an exam, I would never touch the piano. coz if you mess up your muscle memory last minute......dooomed
@@nikolaslavov1199 I screwed up on my techniques and I'm also still pissed at the fact that my examiner docked off half a mark for interval identification because I wasn't ready :-/ but other than that everything else was alright.
@@pinkegg3179 you actually should practice if you have the time, but instead, play all your pieces super slow. Don't ever play in the written tempo before an exam (or recitals/concert)!
Honestly the Exam is really easy. You just have to spend at least 2 months practicing. I’m having the exam on August 19 this year. And I’m well prepared!
This is hard! I never thought musicianship is so important! And seriously it doesn’t make sense that it is! We can use devices to improve our lack of skills. Like how nowadays we don’t have to be Bach or Mozart to hear melodies in our mind! We use software which is what those composers had in their brain 🤯
i wish my sight reading was this easy- i’m level seven in certificate of merit and they give u twenty seconds to look over eight measures of music before you must play and the music is relatively like this in my level. i’m scared
RCM ear test exam is really confusing. Those ear test books are not user friendly. Online training is not exactly the same as the exam. Oh . Poor students . Scales is really scary as there are so so so many in higher level, even harder than conservatory training, unbelievable ! Look at the Royal one in the UK, they have tried their best to revise the exam to a more approachable exam and delete all “useless” part. They have detail marking scheme and precise ear training instruction and sample so parents, students and teachers could follow.
I heard it's because the some children are complaining their hands aren't big enough and all. (Especially the Chinese ones around here. They help RCM make a lot of money :P)
This is some hunger games level type of scary

Right the part when i saw the the sight reading. FRICKEN f# MINOR

sight reading: least of my worries though im not very good at it its ear test im worried about especially playback/clapback
Daijakake gosh mines is horrible
As a level 1 student this really impressed me. I really doubt I'll ever get to level 10 but it's nice to fantasize.

@@KeepingOnTheWatch hey what level are you now?
What fantastic sight reading
Michael Ezekiel was very impressed - he got dynamics in there which I could never do from sight reading first time haha
Indeed yes. He sightread at performance speed!
Seriously! I’d be playing that at half speed or slower haha
I’m in lvl 3-this is absolutely crazy
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Lik how
The sightread sounds baroque, lots of counterpoint, so hard. The guy is gooood!

I'm starting level 10 today and I automatically concede
You are so talented and you seemingly enjoy what you do. Wonderful!
RCM doesnt know what a tri-tone is. Until they update their terms rcm is a joke
A tri-tone can also be called an augmented 4th or a flat 5. Much of music theory is just arguing semantics.
I don't know what's worse, going to the dentist or this
its going to the dentist, at least ths doesnt hurt ur teeth
@@yingd3067 haha I think I’d rather go to the dentist because you literally don’t have to do anything or prepare in advance

The last chord in the chord progression is a seventh chord. So the examinee doesn’t need to identify the type of chord, right?

@1r_1111
Finished my level 8 exam today and this video even for me is intimidating
Sight reading is grade 6 repertoire lol
Could you tell me the name of the piece? :)
It’s supposed to be three levels lower for piano, so in grade 10 it should be grade 7 sight reading.
for that x4 /o5 the woman didn't play the resulution
wut
For Rhythmic Clapback in the sight-reading section, do students need to include ornaments in their clapback?
I have never seen ornaments in any of the sight clapping examples. I would say no.
I didn't think so...
WAIT A MINUTE MY TEST IS 3 DAYS FROM TODAY
Please wish me luck 😖
Wish me luck 😖
hi howd it go
i feel so sorry for him man but i have a level 10 test in like 2 weeks :(
GREAT changes! I have wished for exactly this.
Shouldn't the third interval be major 3rd?
yeah it is
i don’t blame him,that’s pretty scary 😮
Oh yeah lets just be robots...
Is this the rcm 10 test for just piano or for all instruments?
shiver me timbers
Beethoven: Am I joke to you?

try playin notes/intervals on the piano and think/notice their differences
how can I pass this test...
