how many years to piano grade level 8?

given that you have played the violin for five years you can already think at the grade 5 level presumably. if you take 2-3 three hours of practice everyday you can get to grade 8 in about 3-4 years. i would suggest you do grade 2 the first year, grade five the next, and in the next two years do grade 8, this way it will be comfortable for you and you shall learn well.

There is no age limitations. Most people on level four I knew were like 9 year olds, but I knew nine year olds which were on level 8, and I knew 20 year olds who were on level 5. It is just a matter of your skill. If it is a highly competitive  gym, then they will probably be no older than 11 on level four. They don't take younger than 7 on level 5, so older than that on four.

Do you want to be really really good at piano?\nThen YES!!! \nIF you have a great teacher.\n\nAll the greatest pianists had great teachers.\nNo one became great by learning by themselves.

The simple answer is, 8 years. But, I'm sure there is more to it than that, such as what you can do during that time. Immigration laws can be confusing I'm sure.

Something that works very well is to ask him to take the lessons for 1 year. He must take the lessons and practice every day. After one year, he can decide whether he wants to continue with piano, or do something else. Each time he decides, it is for another year.\n\nThe key there, though, is that he must always be participating in something (another instrument, art classes, dance, sports, etc.). Each time he chooses something, it is for a 1-year committment. In this way, he can become very adept at something he likes, or explore a variety of skills while building some basic ability in each.

O my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nDo you know what you have? There were a number of children's vinyl record series sold in the US during the 1950's and 1960's.\nThis generous collection of piano music for children by Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin, Brahms, Grieg, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Debussy, and Satie is an ideal introduction to the classical piano literature.

Currently the grade of Kindergarden is not "required"  However it is valuable.  So 6 years at the elementary (K-5th)  Then we have "middle school " which is 3 years (6-8th) them high school is 4 years (9-12th)  equaling a total of 13 years.  By the way - Welcome to America!  At 12 yrs old you would be in the 7th grade.

If you do not love it, there is no point trying to learn it. You will find that even most professional musicians have times in their lives when they take a break - sometimes for several years. \n\nPiano is a hard and frustrating thing to learn, and if you don't love it, you will not learn it. It's too much work if you don't want it bad enough. \n\nI think it's fine that you quit if that is what you want to do, and if you are not getting anything out of it anymore. I have played for 14 years on and off, and I have taken many breaks here and there. After 7 years, you should have enough knowledge to continue on your own for a while. \n\nEven if you don't want to play at all now, I really urge you to keep your piano and your books, because as you get older, you will probably want to begin playing again. \n\nIn the meantime, if you want to play a little just for yourself, then play WHAT YOU LIKE! Play songs that speak to you - don't force yourself to play things that you don't like to hear.\n\nBest of luck, and tell your parents that they should be congratulated on not forcing you to continue. It would only make you hate music.

the novice practices until he gets it right.. the professional practices until he&#92;she cannot get it wrong.\n (Joe Satriani)\n\n  SO practice until your fingers bleed, forget your friends, play time, goofing off and slacking..work work work.. Your goal is a good one although I will say that there is more money and fame in improvisational piano like Brickman, Yanni, Lanze or Winston do.

I would love to know how to play the piano very well, natural-like, not reading sheet music.  \n\nNo, I probably never will.  I took piano lessons for a year in college, but it was very difficult.  It didn't come naturally at all.  I would love to have someone in my life that played often, though.

Children start school at age 5.\n\nThere are 13 years of schooling - though you can leave after Year 11 (at age 16) if you wish to.\n\nYears are numbered Y1 - Y13.\n\nThere is a National Curriculum in England - which means that state schools (i.e. Governement Schools) HAVE to follow the set curriculum.  This is (my opinion) not overly strict and generally a good idea.\n\nSTudents take GCSE exams at end of Y11.  (General Certificate of Secondary Education).  Most students take at least six subjects - some as many as 10 or more.  These exams are set centrally.  Students continuing to Y12 and Y13 sit 'AS' exams in Y12 (usually in 4 subjects) and 'A' level exams in Y13 (usually in 2 or 3 of the subjects they studied for AS).  AS and A level exams are also centrally set and marked.  An increasing number of schools now offer the IB (International Baccalaureate) course in Y12 and Y13 instead of AS and A levels.  This consists of six subjects - three major and three minor and is generally held to be more rounded.\n\nA-level scores are the 'passport' to University entrance.  University courses (Bachelor Degrees) last for three or four years.

Generally, you'll attend a university or college where you'll get a bachelor's degree in Music or Music Education and a teaching certificate.  Just contact the schools you are looking at and talk to the advisors from the Music department and the Education department.
