RCM Piano

​

Why RCM?

​

For students looking for a world-class music education grounded in North American excellence.

 

Our RCM Piano Course offers a comprehensive and structured approach to piano study through the Canadian Royal Conservatory of Music—one of the most respected music education institutions in North America. The RCM system is known for its pedagogical excellence, standardized curriculum, and progressive assessment structure, making it a trusted path for serious music students.

 

This course is perfect for students who are goal-oriented, thrive with clear benchmarks, and want to strengthen skills like discipline, focus, and musical literacy. RCM exam certifications also enhance college applications, providing an official record of high-level musical achievement.

What the Program Includes:

• Weekly private piano lessons (45 or 60 minutes), with a focus on repertoire, technique, sight-reading, and ear training tailored to each RCM grade level.

  • 60-minute lessons are required for more advanced students due to the depth of the program.

   

• Optional weekly group theory class (30 minutes), designed to support RCM’s written exam requirements.

  • This brings the total to 1.5 hours of weekly instruction for students enrolled in theory.

   

• Practical performance exams held twice per year (typically in June and November), evaluated by RCM-certified examiners.

• Theory exams are available online anytime, allowing flexibility for busy families.
