This course follows the RCM program of music. Students will learn various technical elements, such as scales and arpeggios, studies and etudes, and several pieces of music. At the end of the year, they can either take a practice exam with me or be ready to take the official RCM exams (if desired and if in Canada). After enrolling, please send me a message to let me know what level your child is at, what they have studied previously, and any other important information you want me to know. I teach RCM grades 1-6, and will assess your child as needed to make sure they are at the right level for their need! Student age is not important if they are at the levels indicated. ****As this is a music lesson, it is critical for students to have their cameras on so I can see their posture, bowing, fingering, etc. In addition, I am happy to teach 2 students in this class at the same time (such as siblings). Please message me if you need a time for 2 students and we can discuss th
Learning Goals
Students will learn new songs, and memorize some of them.
Students will develop technical skills through scales, arpeggios, etc.
Students will progress 1 grade level in one year.

*Please do not purchase books until confirming with me what level your student is at. (Books are from the official site, but can be purchased from other retailers as well at your convenience. Also, if you have an older edition, that is also totally fine.) Each year will need 2 books-the repertoire book and the etudes book. (Exception is preparatory books--one per level.)
