Use RCM Curriculum for BCCM Exams

Going virtual has been quite a shift for most of us and piano exams have not been immune to this trend. In an effort to support students and teachers who have been diligently preparing for their exams, we have made a decision that all BCCM examinations for piano and theory will continue to be in-person examinations. All guidelines in terms of social distancing and preventative measures will be in place to ensure the safety of all of our candidates and examiners.

Effective September 1, 2020, students who have been preparing RCM Curriculum (Repertoire, Technique, Ear training and Sight Reading) can continue to use the RCM Curriculum for a BCCM Examination at BCCM in-person examinations.

When registering, please check the appropriate box on the BCCM Application Form.
