I have started with the piano syllabus, from the list of prescribed pieces available from their website. Of course, the pieces which are under copyright will not be part of this project, but the public domain pieces are relatively easy to come by. I would say that I am about 10% of the way through the piano syllabus as of this posting.

As a worker with another exam board can I sound a word of caution. The pieces you transcribe are out of copyright but if the books you are using are in-copyright you must be very careful as the edition will be copyright to that board. Our in-house publishers issue new editions edited from various public domain sources to avoid this problem. May I suggest you look at transcribing the pieces from old editions, piano particularly from 19th and 20th century editions. Also check ABRSM will accept different editions, not all boards will.
I'm writing a sight-reading plug-in for MuseScore which will colour notes in as you play them on a MIDI keyboard. Does anyone here know of a non-copyrighted source of sight reading pieces that correspond to the different ABRSM grades?
I suggest browsing through the ABRSM syllabus descriptions, available from their website, and seeing what level each grade's sight-reading pieces need to be, and then choosing appropriate songs. Perhaps you could start up your own forum topic (under the relevant forum) asking for suggestions for each grade?
I am not able to provide every single piece for one simple reason: many pieces are modern and under copyright. Thus, what I strive to provide is a syllabus which has at least two pieces, in each of the three groups, per grade. This will not always be possible, because many list C pieces are modern, and thus under copyright. Thus, for the C list of some grades, I will only be able to provide one piece, or even none.
Someone has already taken the trouble to go through many of the pieces for the 2011-12 and 2013-14 piano syllabus, played them, posted them to YouTube and posted the sheet music (as images in the videos) of the non-copyright ones.
While I Was In Middle School I became an independent piano instructor when my piano teacher encouraged me to become her "student teacher" and to begin teaching piano to some of the younger children in our neighborhood. I was terrified and did not know what to do, so she spent some time introducing me to different piano method books, explaining how they worked, how the grades progressed, and how different methods were suitable for different students.
Many years later when I began teaching voice, I realized that the books of systematic piano instruction that I had found so helpful were not as readily available for singing instruction. In my quest to find suitable voice teaching material, I came to realize that several curriculum programs for voice instruction did exist; they were useful for all levels, from beginner to advanced. All came with related teaching materials that were graded and reasonably priced. I recognized immediately that using these curriculum programs could facilitate independent teachers interested in achieving higher standards in their studios. Each of these programs has been tested and developed by teams of master pedagogues over decades, and the programs are constantly updated as new interests and ideas arise, along with changes in technology. Consequently, teachers using these voice curricula benefit from hundreds of years of combined experience and new developments in voice pedagogy. Best of all, the syllabus of each program is free, so it is not a financial burden for teachers.
Each program is stratified with benchmarks that progress from beginner, to intermediate, and to advanced levels (see Table 1 for a comparison of grade levels). These benchmarks include specific levels of musicianship that include sight reading, ear training, technical exercises, and repertoire. In some of the programs, written theory and history exams are part of the requirement as well as a specific level of piano achievement. (For specific grade level requirements, see Tables 2, 3, and 4.) 2ff7e9595c
