“Conservatory Canada promotes achievement in music through a comprehensive program of study, evaluation & recognition for teachers and students. Our aim is to foster the development of musical talent and potential."
MORE EXAMINER TIME
Students receive more time with the Examiner so that we can hear all pieces in their entirety. A Grade / Level 1 Exam is 20 minutes and a Grade / Level 8 Exam is 40 minutes.
CONTEMPORARY IDIOMS™
Our Contemporary Idioms™ stream exams feature contemporary repertoire including Jazz styles of Blues and Swing, as well as Rock, Pop and World music. The skills portion of the exams include improvisation elements. Students can study and be assessed using the music that relates to their current social experience.
FLEX THEORY EXAMS
Flex Theory Exams can be scheduled at any time of year, whenever the student is ready. Theory 1 - 3 are now available in two parts as partial exams to lessen the workload to be studied at any one time.
FLEXIBLE REPERTIORE
Students can choose from our expanding list of repertoire, or suggest their own for free approval. Customize your experience using music that you are passionate about!
MINI LESSONS
Mini-Lessons can be purchased in advance when you register for exams, giving the student a 15 minute lesson with the Examiner immediately following the exam. This is a great opportunity to seek advice and tips from one of our professional musician Examiners. Teachers and Parents are welcome to attend!
VIVA VOCE
All exams feature background questions, or Viva Voce. Students are asked to comment on terms, signs and details about the composers of their pieces.
KEYBOARD SKILLS
Keyboard Harmony and Transposition are a featured component of Classical Piano exams starting at Grade 5.
PARTIAL EXAMINATIONS
Students can split their practical exams into two partials beginning at Grade / Level 7.
RECITAL ASSESSMENTS
Recital Assessments are a great way to have students achieve a standing and certificate while focusing on playing repertoire in front of an audience, without skills. An Examiner provides a written report and students are encouraged to provide program notes. Several students can be combined together to create a larger audience.
