Features: Music grading originated in the UK, initially established by the UK Royal Academy of Music as an extracurricular music grading system primarily focused on instrumental music. Starting in the 1980s, with the surge in learning instrumental music among young and middle-aged people in China, this grading system began to attract attention from the Chinese music industry. In 1988, the Shanghai Music pioneered the development of amateur piano grading exams in China. Subsequently, the scope of grading expanded gradually, with the approval of grading syllabi for each category, classification standards, and the compilation of examination pieces becoming increasingly standardized year by year. A scientific and rigorous system and operational mechanism were established in all aspects of the organization, including registration, examiner selection, and grading, ensuring and promoting the smooth progress of grading work. Therefore, the publication and release of the "Shanghai Music Music Grading Series" can be seen as an inevitable outcome of the Shanghai Music's efforts to further refine grading work after accumulating 15 years of experience in music grading.
