[Menvi-discuss] Yamaha piano course and gradings, any help?

[Winy Kwany]

Hi all,
I have a new student. She is still studying in Yamaha Music School
here with Yamaha piano course curiculum. She said she will have grade
7 Yamaha piano exam in July or October this year. I did an acessment
on her and I found her playing level is for grade 2-3 (She hasn't used
any pedaling yet, but have played simple Bach and some classical
pieces). I have some questions.
First, does anyone ever transcribed Yamaha piano course into braille?
If so, where I can obtain them?
Second, how I can get the grading of Yamaha and ABRSM on track? I am
confused with the system. Yamaha has 13 grades, from grade 13 to 1. I
read in the website, but I am still confused. For example, if the
student is in grade 7 Yamaha, in what grade will it be for ABRSM?
Thanks in advance. Any input, suggestions, will be highly appreciated.
Winy.
