These YouTube Playlists correspond with the pieces printed in The Royal Conservatory of Music’s Celebration Series Sixth Edition, Level 5.

RCM Level 5 consists of two volumes.

The Piano Repertoire book contains three lists of music:

• List A has Baroque Repertoire.
• List B, Classical and Classical-style Repertoire.
• List C, Romantic, 20th-, and 21st-century Repertoire. Teachers have the option of substituting a ‘Teacher’s Choice’ selection for List C.

The Etudes book contains 16 pieces (one or two pages each) that address technical development in a fun way for this Intermediate level.

Helpful hints:

To make it easy to listen through the volumes, these playlists are presented in the order that the music is printed in the books.

However, if you’d prefer to listen to just one title, click on the link or image given in each section. This will take you to the playlist in YouTube, where you will be able to listen to just one video.

These videos were chosen to help you get a sense of each piece.

You may need to adjust the volume at times, as the recordings may have different levels.

Level 5 List A

Baroque Repertoire.

It was admittedly difficult to find a good recording of the first piece (Bach Prelude in C). In the interest of simplicity and accuracy, I went with the video you see here of the harpsichord performance. This video consists of five preludes so if you do not wish to watch all five, you may skip ahead by advancing the red bar at the bottom of the video.

Level 5 List B

Classical and Classical-style Repertoire.

Click here to listen to Level 5 List B one video at a time.

Level 5 List C

Romantic, 20th-, and 21st-century Repertoire.

Teacher’s Choice Playlist

For RCM Level 5 List C, your student can play a teacher’s choice selection without submitting a form or request! Here’s a webinar conducted by the RCM on how!

Consider choosing Intermediate, Level 5 music by Rebekah Maxner. From action pieces to character pieces, from spirited to expressive, the music in this YouTube playlist can be learned for recitals, music festival classes and for exams as teacher’s choice selections.

This music is available in print and eBooks and as studio-licensed eSheets.

Level 5 Studies

Etudes are a middle ground between technical exercises (like scales) and repertoire pieces. Each etude focuses on a specific pianistic skill and helps you develop it in a concentrated, musical context.

Feedback

Because I’m using content developed by others, occasionally it will get deleted by the original creator. It will be impossible for me to keep track of it all, so if you notice that a piece has suddenly gone missing from a playlist, please contact me! I’ll find a replacement lickety-split!

Video of the Week

Over the Moon (Intermediate Piano, Level 5) is a dreamy retelling of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. This isn’t an arrangement, it is a newly composed piece with found elements from Beethoven, a new piece of art in the spirit of “found art.” From the print and eBook Madge’s Notebook, A Piano Tribute to The Hunger Games, or check out the Over the Moon eSheet!
