Hi @VancityViolinTeacher ! Thank you so much for your videos, they really help me train my ears and I couldn't find any other channel on youtube with enough videos to actually practice. Since I'm from a country where the Conservatory is on the same level as a university degree, so you'll at least be 19 when you enter, I'm wondering what level this is, as I read on wikipedia that RCM can be from 8 years :o How old would you approximately be when you do the exams of level 1 in rythm, intervals and playbacks? And does the levels apply to school years or semesters or something else? Thank you in advance and for your amazing work! -Anna-Dorthea
Hi Anna-Dorthea! So glad the videos help. :) The RCM system in Canada is the standard, so the word 'conservatory' is referring to the fact that it's an institution, and not indicative of level. So instead of thinking of it in terms of age, I would think of the 'levels' as going from beginner to advanced, with preparatory (the one before level 1) being the easiest and level 10 being the most advanced, unless you decide to go for the associate diploma (one level above 10, which we call ARCT - associate of the royal conservatory of toronto). The levels don't really have anything to do with school years, except that schools offer extra credit for students who have reached a level 6 in RCM exams for example. Hope that helps to explain!
im doing a practice exam with my teacher tomorrow so thank you so much!!
oh that's a good idea. good luck! :)
