RCM Examinations are internationally recognized as a system of evaluation that enables students, teachers and parents to measure a student’s progress within a time-tested framework.  

At Clarkson Piano Studio, we encourage our students and parents to get involved with RCM Examinations and experience all the long-term values and benefits of that rewarding process.

By completing the entire RCM curriculum, students are transformed into mature music professionals, receiving A.R.C.T. professional designation, ready to master their music education further or pursue music career opportunities. Most importantly, the RCM program develops a fantastic set of skills for the joy of music-making – for a lifetime!
