Performance level generally refers to students’ ability to perform well on stage, understand repertoire, and express personal feelings in music. The requirements are much higher than those of level 8. Generally, the requirement of level 8 is to be able to play the music completely. Basic processing, such as emoticons and understanding of musical emotions, are not that important. But when taking the performance level exam, these are the key points.

The national music grade examination will be conducted in two major categories: one is the special music performance skills examination of vocal music and instrumental music, and the other is the examination of basic music knowledge.
