Little Mozarts

The “Little Mozarts” program is designed for young beginners who are discovering the instrument and music in general in an easy, playful way. Teaching “Little Mozarts” focuses on introducing children to basic music‑theory rudiments, reading notes, and learning to play their first melodies. Several kid‑friendly beginner method book series, such as Faber’s Adventures, Alfred’s Basic, Bastien, and John Thompson, are used as the primary learning materials.

Royal Conservatory of Music Celebration Series Books, Levels Prep A–2, are added to the repertoire in the second year of the program to support a smooth transition into more structured study and progress toward the intermediate level.

*This program exists in an advanced format for older children and teenagers.

Recommended lesson duration & frequency: 30mins or 45mins/ week

RCM Exam Prep

RCM Certificate Program

Students who choose to follow the RCM Certificate Program prepare using the official RCM syllabus for their level. Practical piano exams can be booked once a student is fully ready; this will be mutually agreed on between the student/parent and teacher. Tests can be taken either in person or online. After Level 5, the RCM requires specific theory prerequisites to be completed alongside the practical piano exams.

Theory Lessons & Exam Prep

Theory material can be covered during regular lessons, and additional dedicated theory sessions are available for students preparing for RCM Theory Exams. The length and frequency of these lessons are determined together with the student to ensure they feel confident and fully prepared. Group theory classes may also be arranged when there is interest.
