Royal American Conservatory Examinations

Royal American Conservatory Examinations, in association with RCM Examinations, a division of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Canada, is dedicated to providing American students with nationwide opportunities for achievement and evaluation. Based on the curriculum of the renowned Royal Conservatory of Music, Royal American Conservatory Examinations serves students and teachers with an internationally recognized program of assessment. Please join us as we create a national standard of music excellence.

Certificate Program:

The high standards of The Royal Conservatory of Music curriculum are made available to American students through the Royal American Conservatory Examinations Certificate Program. Practical piano and music theory examinations are conducted each year in select communities through a network of examination centers. Each year, more than 100,000 students participate in the internationally recognized Certificate Program.

The Certificate Program starts with two preparatory levels, suitable for piano students completing their first and second years of study, respectively. The Program then progresses through ten consecutive grades (Grades 1 - 10), and culminates in certification as an Associate of The Royal Conservatory of Music (the ARCT diploma). The examinations available for each level, grade, and certification, serve as logical assessment points for developing musicians.
