Below is a list of technique items I require my students to practice at their respective levels. These are not equivalent to the RCM exam syllabus, in fact they are more demanding than the exams. However, I believe in the importance of technical training and that it will produce exponential results in other areas of playing. As listed, there are only Gr. 3, 5, 8, 10, but not other grades in between. I designed it this way so that students at the grades in between each check point can strive for the higher goal post, ex. students studying Gr. 6 or 7 should be aiming to master the technique items in the Gr. 8 list.

Below is a list of ear training items I teach and practice with my students at their respective levels. Some items are taken from the RCM exam syllabus, others are additional items that I believe are suitable to cover in their piano lessons. These are meant to supplement regular piano learning only. For exam preparation, please refer to the official RCM exam syllabus. As listed, there are only Gr. 3, 5, 8, 10, but not other grades in between.
