Generally, conservatories of music and musicians' associations all over the country take the amateur 10 level examination, and each level has 12 songs, and each song has a different way of playing. With the improvement of the level, the difficulty of music increases, and the time of examination varies slightly from place to place.
Shanghai Conservatory of Music and Shanghai Musicians Association take exams in January and August every year. After completing the amateur 10 level, there is also a performance level, which is divided into 1, 2, 3 and 3 levels.
The performance level of guzheng belongs to the highest level in amateur music examination, followed by professional level and national certificate. There are obvious differences in difficulty between professional guzheng examination and amateur guzheng examination, because professional guzheng examination is usually compulsory or only for students studying guzheng in professional music colleges.
Extended data:
As far as the textbooks edited and published at present are concerned, guzheng graded tracks are generally divided into 9 grades or 10 grades. The textbooks compiled by the Music Scoring Committee of China Musicians Association are divided into 9 grades; The textbooks compiled by the Chinese National Orchestra Society are divided into 10 levels. Some art colleges and government departments have published 9-grade or 10 textbooks.
Whether it is divided into 9 grades or 10 grades, its purpose is the same: first, most of these tracks are the same to measure the learning level and artistic level; In other words, the tracks of Grade 9 and Grade 10 basically belong to the same level in playing skills and artistic level.
Second, no matter how many levels are divided, the purpose is to define a convention standard recognized by experts, which is relatively standardized and easy to identify and operate, as the assessment basis for common compliance, thus resulting in the classification of 1 level, 2/level, 9/level and1level.
