One of the challenges of the technical requirements for The Royal Conservatory’s advanced-level exams since 2015 has been the extended I - VI - IV - V6/4 - V8-7 - I chord progression at Levels 9 and 10 to be played following the 4-note chords. The 2022 edition of the Piano Syllabus only shows the realized version for the chord progression in C major on page 123. Many students are perfectly fine with figuring out the progression in all the required keys. However, some students need some help, and it’s for this reason that I’ve created these sheets that you can download and print for free.
