I am happy to offer the Royal Conservatory Program. Through The Royal Conservatory Program, I can offer students a standardized course of study and measurement of musical success.

Benefits

A national standard provides:

• Provides a clear, consistent, and meaningful structure for recognizing achievement and rewarding excellence
• Values and promotes the importance of music study across the country and empowers teachers and students at all levels to celebrate excellence
• Ensures the equality of all students, no matter where they are located
• Maintains the integrity of assessment through the constant review of adjudicators, processes, and materials
• Enhances the competitive edge and awareness of performance standards on the national level
• It's an organized system covering all essential sides for good playing (ear training, technical skills, music theory, harmony, analysis of music forms)

How it works

• The student must register at the Royal Conservatory Program site. You will need to add my name (Tanya Otto) as the instructor.
• You can start at any level/grade which is suitable for you. I will help determine the level/grade you will start at.
• For each passing exam the student will receive a certificate for that level. After all 10 levels there are 3 levels of piano pedagogy (elementary, intermediate and advanced). By passing all 10 levels and 3 piano pedagogy levels you can receive your diploma in piano performance and/or piano pedagogy applying to the European professional music education.
• Each level comprises 1 exam (early Winter or late Spring session). Students can achieve up to 2 levels per year by taking both Winter and Spring sessions. For each level they offer a set of books covering the final exam. You will go through all the material with the instructor to prepare for the exam.
• When you register you can get a convenient location and schedule of your exam.
