RCM Certificate Program

I highly recommend the RCM Royal Conservatory of Music Certificate Program for all of my students, ages 5 through adults, who want to set goals of musical achievement. I can prepare any of my students to participate in this even if they are motivated and dedicated in preparing for this exam, and attend my monthly performance workshops. I am able to teach music theory within the normal lesson time, and have been able to get my transferred students who may not have had a strong music theory background to score 90% or above in theory exams within a year from joining my studio.

• The RCM Certificate Program iis flexible, students may be asynchronous with piano and theory levels and test at the appropriate levels, and there is no teacher volunteering required. All in-person exams are held in a professional music business location.

• In-person performance exams are offered live 3 times a year

• Late summer months may have limited performance availability

• Students can choose any location throughout the United States.

• Live performance exams are offered throughout the year

• Levels from Prep A through Advanced levels for college prep and Artistry levels for music teachers.

• Students do not have to take performance exams and theory exams at the same time

• Theory exams are offered in an online format or in-person

• Students receiving the very top score of First Class Honors with Distinction may be invited to perform in the Celebration of Excellence Recitals held typically at USC

Students may learn a popular selection from their level and play it in lieu of one of the etudes from their level. My students love this option, and it improves their sight reading!

Favorites: Billy Joel’s Piano Man (Level 7), Dust in the Wind (Level 5), Hedwig’s Theme (Level 6), and I Giorni by Einaudi (Level 6).
