The mission of The Royal Conservatory—to develop human potential through leadership in music and the arts—is based on the conviction that the arts are humanity’s greatest means to achieve personal growth and social cohesion. Advancing the transformative effect that music and the arts have on society lies at the heart of everything The Royal Conservatory does.

Since its inception in 1886, The Royal Conservatory has translated the latest research on music and arts education into effective programs benefiting millions of people around the world. The more than five million alumni of The Royal Conservatory have enjoyed the many benefits of music study and carried these benefits into subsequent careers in a wide range of fields, including medicine, business, politics, education, science, and sports. Others, such as Glenn Gould, Oscar Peterson, Diana Krall, Teresa Stratas, Sir Roger Norrington, and Jon Vickers, have achieved international musical acclaim. The Royal Conservatory Certificate Program provides a recognized standard of musical achievement through an effectively sequenced system of study and individual student assessments, from preparatory to advanced levels. Considered the foremost music education system in Canada, the United States, and many other countries around the world, its broad use has bound together individuals from these nations with the thread of shared creative experiences.

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. A rigorous examiner apprenticeship 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.
