Here we find many examples of advanced, commonly performed music. Extended fluency in first through seventh positions is important for this repertoire. However, advanced does not always mean fast and loud. You can choose a wide variety of styles, from Rachmaninoff’s reflective Vocalise to Ten Have’s dramatic Allegro Brilliante. This level is equivalent to Suzuki Book 8, RCM 6-7, and ABRSM 7-8.
