可以直接索要Prospectus，附送DVD.可惜到现在我还没搞清楚和RCM比哪个更有名，回复email 来说比RCM 热情（帮mm问的，结果一个知名Pianist导师回的信)

附回信2份，开始以为是申请的 MASTER，可以看见 MMUS 的面试（AUDITION）演奏要求，总时间 40-60 分钟，一首可自由选择。

如巴赫曲目+贝多芬奏鸣曲+肖邦叙事曲+一组拉威尔作品，或普罗科菲耶夫第 7 奏鸣曲+舒曼作品 12 号+当代音乐作品

第一封：

Thank you for your email.

It is very hard to define “standard” in words.

But if they mean an undergraduate degree and you are applying for Graduate study, then we would expect a recital programme of between 40 and 60 minutes, from which the panel would choose (though you could nominate one work you especially wanted to play in the audition.) You can find this information in the Prospectus – or on the website under Piano.

Obviously a good public concert level of playing is expected – repertoire is “own choice”. WTypical programme might be, for example a Bach work + Beethoven Sonata + Chopin Ballade and a group of Ravel pieces. Or Prokofiev 7th Sonata + Schumann Op.12 + contemporary work.
I do not know if this gives you any better idea. I Hope so.

We do not ask to hear scales as such. (Almost certainly your repertoire will demonstrate that ability at some point!)

Best wishes,

Christopher

Application to a music conservatoire is rather different from normal University applications.

We are really much more interested in the actual performance level than in the level of academic credentials. But there are basic high school qualifications that are required.

Again if you look at the website you will find a page about Entry Qualifications.
In UK this is, basically, two ‘A’ Levels (Advanced Level passes). You may be able to verify the acceptability of your qualifications by going to the website: www.ram.ac.ukYou could also write to Registry:  try Edward Kemp-Luck luck@ram.ac.uk
But the really critical thing is how you perform at your audition.

Good wishes,
Christopher

注：英国的钢琴等级考试ABRSM就是在这几所学校
