![]() A new Teaching Notes publication has been released to accompany the new ABRSM Piano Syllabus 2023-24, and I cover that in the summary at the end of this post. As before, I select these mainly from the books of Selected Pieces (which are those sent to me for review), but as ever, the alternative lists are always worth a look. The repertoire has been refreshed and new books of Selected Pieces published, but in the main, it’s business as usual.Īs in previous reviews, I will cover each grade in turn, offering my top three pieces from each of the repertoire lists. Whilst there were some major changes last year, notably to the scale requirements and the introduction of the new Initial Grade, this year feels comparatively low key. It doesn’t seem long ago since I reviewed the 2021-22 ABRSM Piano Syllabus, one which many of us are only just beginning to use. The revised ABRSM Piano Syllabus seems to come round alarmingly quickly. Therefore, whilst the new ABRSM Piano Syllabus 2023-24 isn’t released against the best of backdrops, it’s a reminder that, above all, it’s the music itself which is at the centre of their work. ![]() I, and others, have been accused of ‘ABRSM bashing’ in the past, and whilst we have certainly levelled criticism at them, it is often from a desire that they should, once again, become the prestigious and respected exam board they once were. I was one of many who experienced problems making my exam entries online this session, and that, along with technical issues with their marking software, Marcato, prompted a fierce letter to the Chief Executive from members of their examiner panel. ABRSM have not had the best of press recently.
