My ABRSM book just arrived, and it was really useful to listen to the pieces played properly - I can now make an informed choice from the list!! Thank you!!

The tunes are so beautifully played and they are very inspiring to listen to. My interest in piano develops from sitting in my eight years' old child's piano lesson. Can't believe I will be sitting the same Grade 1 exam as him. :D It is never too late to learn - to all parents.

Julian honestly this is such a massive help the pieces are played so beautifully and so delicately. When you play I feel something . I feel emotion . You are soo so so talented. Thanks 🙏🏽

After messing about with bibs and bobs like learning elements of pieces and easy songs for years I've found the ABRSM. With someone like Julian I realise the truth in what good people have been telling me all the time - the huge difference a fine teacher can make. Thank you for the informative instruction and inspiration. Now if only I can get my left hand to do what it's supposed to...

[shollarose]

Thank you so much for this. Just starting grade 1 at the very young age of 55. Really excited. This video helped me to choose my pieces.

[charlottemaude]

That's so helpful Julian - and beautifully played! As my local music shop won't allow us teachers to look through the different board's exam books any more, this has been really useful in helping me chose which board to select for my pupils. Much appreciated

I actually took my first grade exam last year in 2022 and got 133/135 marks
I played Minuet in C, The Swing, The Detective and Parson's farewell and you play nych better than me

[phoenixthepiano]

thank you a lot🙏 i started learning piano in april this year by myself, at the age of 23 and i’m excitingly practising to be able to play these pieces, and hoping to pass other grades like 2-3-4 in the upcoming years 😊

[ohwowohmygod]

I’m currently working on A Toy & The Swing, and this helped me remember the melody!

[Letsmakebetterworld]

This is very useful for Hyunmi’s daughter which is me. So that’s why my teacher chooses this video. 12 claps for this amazing piano video to make the amazing piano an easy instrument to play.

And so we are happy to hear your song every day

I started when I was in the womb and now I am taking part in grade one at the ripe old age of 29!

so talented at playing piano keep up the good work Julian never give up

[gismey]

Very well played, and a great help to my students. Thank you! I also love the flavour of technology, those smooth page turns…

[YouHadMeAtHalo]

thanks! i had to learn this for school in one night and this really helped :)
the way you set out the video is super good

[josephinenatalie]

In my country now learning piano can only by Zoom Meeting. Because of pandemic everyone must stay at home. It's so hard to communicate sometimes because bad signal or poor internet connection. This video is a great help for piano teacher and also the student. I'm grateful for this video.

[jackvaughan]

Hi Julian, I just want to say your videos are so extremely helpful and immaculately presented! I am a piano teacher and just had my first ever student take a grade exam. He got his result yesterday and passed Grade 1 which I'm so happy about! We referred a lot to your videos (In particular the aural tests videos which he scored very high in).
Thank you for the help and we will be referring to your videos for Grade 2 😊

[Ivan]

I love how you played ! It really helped me and my children.

[anyaconnolly]

Had anyone completed grade 1 but started from a complete beginner with no musical background

[davids]

Hi Julian... just wanted to say thanks for this upload - really helpful as I am soon(ish!) to do my Grade 1. Having all the pieces in this one video will allow me to choose which pieces I do. I won't bother with the other 21 pieces, these are just fine for me!
Again, thank you sir! 👍🙂❤
