RCM Examination

RCM, which is Royal Conservatory of Music, fonuded in 1886. It is the largest and oldest independent arts educator in Canada. This year is my first time let my piano students to attend this examination in Canada. I have already taught piano for 8 years both in China and Canada. When I was in China, I had many studnets attended music examination, and they all got certificate. However, in Canada I did not know where my students could take exam and what the standard for this exam firat. After I did my research, I could almost understand about RCM examination. Therefor, my 5 piano students attended this exam last month. I applied for my teacher number that I can check any information in RCM website. Also, I can read my students' results and read the examiner's remarks. Fortunately, all my students got high mark which is first class honours in this exam, so I feel very excited. I think it gives me more confidence in my piano teaching.
