The Maritime Conservatory for Performing Arts offers theory examinations for levels Prep to 8. These examinations are based on the new RCM Prep to Level 8 theory books, which are for students of all instruments and voice.
These examinations will complement the same level as their practical examinations. For example if a student takes their level 1 piano, violin or voice examinations they can also take their level 1 theory examination and they will receive a complete level 1 certificate.
The examination for Level Prep is 30 minutes, for Levels 1 to 5 one hour, and for Levels 6 to 8 two hours long.
This is not a mandatory co-requisite, but rather a way to encourage both teachers and students to complete their theory studies as well as their practical studies at the same time, in whichever field they choose to study.
These theory examinations combined with Royal Conservatory practical examinations of the same level give you High School credits:
Grade 12 high school credit – RCM Level 8
Grade 11 high school credit – RCM Level 7
Grade 10 high school credit – RCM Level 6
NO CHANGES will be made to the exam schedule after it is set.
ALL TUITION payments must be up to date before exams may be taken. Please note any dates on which you are not available to do your exam, i.e. a school trip, etc., on the exam application form.
