RCM Exam Accreditation Information

Did you know that students taking Royal Conservatory of Music Examinations can get high school credits for completing their exam requirements? In this way students can get high school credits for taking private music lessons that can count toward their graduation requirements. It is important to note that in order receive credits for practical examinations students must also complete the theory exam co-requisites.  The table below, copied from the Royal Conservatory of Music website lists the information for the province of British Columbia. Please note that the education in Canada is a provincial jurisdiction and some provinces have different requirements.Information for other provinces is available on their site.

How many Credits do you get for the Piano examination in British Columbia?

Hi There,
A great question. According to the RCM website Grade 8 piano and Grade 2 rudiments qualify you for a Grade 12 high school arts credit, while Grade 6 piano and Grade 1 Rudiments count as a Grade 10 credit. I believe that this would be the equivalent of one full year high school course. Always best to check with your school guidance counselor as accreditation may vary among schools and districts, although it should not.

What if you completed the Grade 8 and Theory requirements with Voice and Piano? Two credits?

As for whether you can have more than one credit this way, i am not sure. It would be best to check with your school guidance councellor, or contact the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto and ask them.
