Message from the President
The mission of The Royal Conservatory—to develop human potential through leadership in music
and the arts—is based on the conviction that music and the arts are humanity’s greatest means to
achieve personal growth and social cohesion. Since 1886 The Royal Conservatory has realized this
mission by developing a structured system consisting of curriculum and assessment that fosters
participation in music making and creative expression by millions of people. We believe that the
curriculum at the core of our system is the finest in the world today.
In order to ensure the quality, relevance, and effectiveness of our curriculum, we engage in an
ongoing process of revitalization, which elicits the input of hundreds of leading teachers. The
award-winning publications that support the use of the curriculum offer the widest selection of
carefully selected and graded materials at all levels. Certificates and Diplomas from The Royal
Conservatory of Music attained through examinations represent the gold standard in music
education.
The strength of the curriculum and assessment structure is reinforced by the distinguished College
of Examiners—a group of outstanding musicians and teachers from Canada, the United States,
and abroad who have been chosen for their experience, skill, and professionalism. An acclaimed
adjudicator certification program, combined with regular evaluation procedures, ensures
consistency and an examination experience of the highest quality for candidates.
As you pursue your studies or teach others, you become an important partner with The Royal
Conservatory in helping all people to open critical windows for reflection, to unleash their
creativity, and to make deeper connections with others.
Dr. Peter C. Simon

Michael and Sonja Koerner President & CEO
