I. Overview of the Yamaha Grade Examination System
Established in 1967, the Yamaha Grade Examination System has been conducted effectively in over 40
countries and regions to date. More than 10 million people have attempted these examinations, and the system
is widely accepted as a reliable standard for assessing musical abilities.
The different categories and grades are designed to provide the candidates with clear goals to achieve, while
evaluating their overall musical ability. The Yamaha Grade Examination allows music learners to develop
their overall musical abilities progressively, acknowledge their current achievement skills and encourage areas
for further development.
Electone Performance Grades 10–6
There are 2 options available for grades 10–6. Candidates make the choice depending on their goals.
Course A is primarily for students who are purely learning for enjoyment or as a hobby.
