Well, my teacher likes the first 2 years of my plan and really only changed a couple of things. The sonatas really are any sonata be it Baroque, Classical, Romantic or Modern. I just basically have them there to reserve a spot. I'm not expecting to have it divided my a line. I fully expect things to bleed into each other. I will of course be doing etudes and scale work while I am doing the repetoire I have listed. She gave me more variety and next semester I will be doing a Baroque Sonata either italian, french or german. She's going to show me a bunch and have me pick one. I also know that Things will of course take different lengths of time to learn.

I am curious just because I am not familiar at all with how music schools work - are you expected to learn all those pieces to perfection or...?

Oh, I'm not at a music school persee. I'm at a school with a good music program. For the most part they should be perfect, but I doubt I will be playing them all in the next two years. If I'm lucky I will do about 2/3 of the pieces I have listed and for the most part I am only doing 1 or two movements of Bach per semester.. Some of things I have listed will bleed over, I don't have set boundries exactly. I may have listed them by year and semester but that does not mean that they wont take longer, I fully except some to, like learning the entire Mozart Concerto.
