Features: This examination syllabus is divided into nine levels, with Levels and 2 being beginner levels; Levels 4, 5, and 6 are intermediate levels; Levels 7, 8 are advanced levels. After Level 9, our institution has set an additional Performance Diploma level, which exceeds the highest advanced level set by all domestic examination institutions and reaches a performance level suitable for professional development. The compilation of this examination syllabus has the following characteristics:
1. Each level includes prescribed etudes for examination, progressing from simple to complex, systematically training the conventional techniques of the dizi and helping candidates build a solid foundation. In the early stages, the repertoire consists of folk songs, short pieces, and parts for small ensembles; while in the intermediate to advanced stages, it includes dizi solo pieces in various styles.
2. A combination of practicality and fun. The etudes are written and selected primarily to meet the technical training needs of the dizi, while also considering the learners' potential boredom during practice. Therefore, most etudes have melodic qualities, making them more effective when performed as short pieces or mini-musics.
3. Modern works are incorporated into the advanced-level training. Candidates can broaden their artistic horizons and understand the development of the dizi, enriching and diversifying their learning to better adapt to modern society's needs.
4. For the repertoire section, each piece includes performance suggestions, explaining the technical key points of different styles, so that candidates can more accurately convey the basic requirements of the pieces within limited practice time.
We hope that dizi learners will continue to strive and actively progress, successfully passing all levels of examinations and achieving greater accomplishments in their future dizi studies.
