Is a piano teacher necessary?

You simply need to ask yourself what your goal is. If you enjoy hanging out at the piano and fiddling around you don't need a teacher, and there's nothing wrong with this. BUT if you want to progress over a long stretch of time and move to more advanced material then yes a teacher is your best move.

Seriously, though, you will know if and when a teacher becomes necessary for you. Right now it doesn't sound as if you want one. But at some point, you may realize that you want to go further than what you can do on your own, or that you're not progressing as fast as you would like, that there are just some things that you aren't able to learn on your own, or that you need feedback on your technique or interpretation. Please don't make the mistake of thinking that teachers are only for people who are going to go through exams, compete, or go on to become professionals. There are many of us here who don't do any of those things, and yet a teacher has greatly enhanced our learning experience. (And they usually let us play music that we like!)

Oh, quite dangerous! Please, do not try this at home without professional guidance. You don't know how many people have had their pianos explode right in front of them, just from pressing the keys incorrectly.Seriously, though, you will know if and when a teacher becomes necessary for you.

Does Grade 8 piano count as an A level?

" A-level equivalent" No one is gonna look at your grade 8 as an A level, they look at it as a level 4 qualification and that's it. Wrong, grade 8 theory distinction is 10 ucas points.

I definitely don't think it would be a waste of time - doing GCSE music will give you a more solid foundation in the study of music than the performance and theory alone, since it also incorporates a lot of music history (covering a wider range of genres than ABRSM qualifications) and various different approaches to composition. You've clearly got an interest in the subject if you've already taken it to grade 8 in both performance and theory, and if you later decide that you want to turn that interest into studying music at degree level, you'll be in a much better position if you've got GCSE and A level music, even with the ABRSM qualifications.
