Preface
The Popular Selection List, 2011 Edition is an addendum to The Royal Conservatorys Piano Syllabus, 2008 Edition,
which embodies the official requirements for the piano assessments conducted by The Royal Conservatory
Examinations and The Carnegie Hall Royal Conservatory Achievement Program (The Achievement Program).
This Popular Selection List, 2011 Edition replaces all editions previously published by The Frederick Harris Music
Co., Limited.
The Popular Selection List is a compilation of non-classical pieces, carefully selected to suit each grade level.
Candidates in levels 3 to 9 have the option of substituting a piece chosen from the Popular Selection List for one
study/etude in their level. Candidates in levels 1 and 2 have the option of substituting a piece from the Popular
Selection List as their Teachers Choice selection in place of the study/etude in their level. Candidates should
consult the Piano Syllabus, 2008 Edition for detailed information on substitution policies.
Candidates do not need prior approval from The Royal Conservatory Examinations or The Achievement
Program to use a piece from the Popular Selection List as a substitute for one of the studies from the same level.
Each piece has musical value, containing rhythmic or technical challenges pertinent to the level for which it
has been selected. The required edition is clearly identified. These editions have been chosen for their quality
for the purposes of assessments to ensure the appropriate arrangement for each level. Different editions of the
same work will not be accepted. Please consult the Bibliography on p.31 for more information on the collections
and sheet music referenced in the Popular Selection List.
