Royal Conservatory of Music Theory Program

Description & Schedules

For intermediate and advanced level RCM piano students, the study of Music Theory is designed to compliment the practical study of your instrument and increase your knowledge and understanding of important elements of music.

The Royal Conservatory Music Theory program is normally taught in a class setting once per year for students requiring RCM Theory Levels 5, 6, 7 and 8. Classes for more advanced theory levels are scheduled when there is sufficient demand. Students may also register for a private theory lesson if preferred or when no class is available.

Each course normally consists of twenty-four, one-hour classes, held weekly beginning mid-November and concludes with the writing of the Royal Conservatory exam in May. All students will be thoroughly prepared by our accredited instructors to successfully pass the RCM exam.
