Every private lesson student is invited to perform in our semi-annual recitals in late November and May. Students work with their instructor to select a piece that demonstrates their technique and progress, and perform for family, friends, and peers at our Bravo Academy Zlotnik Studio Theatre.
Instructors may also recommend festivals or competitions for their students to showcase their abilities, including:
Royal Conservatory of Music
Every student has their own goals for their music study. Students can choose to pursue Royal Conservatory of Music certification.
The Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) Certificate Program is a standardized approach to music education available across the country. Students work through each grade level, practicing performance technique and music theory, gradually improving their performance skills with a thorough and challenging curriculum.
RCM certification is recognized across Canada by most major music programs and training facilities, and is recommended for students pursuing music at a secondary or post-secondary level.
Our instructors are qualified to teach RCM in their respective disciplines and can tell you if RCM is right for you!
