![]() ![]() ![]() I assign items from the chart each week by outlining certain boxes in pencil or marker. I like to tape each student’s chart inside the front cover of one of their books. This makes it easy to print out charts for students. I keep the PDF of these technique charts on my computer desktop and also uploaded to my iPad ( I use an app called GoodNotes, but any similar app of your choice will work). I’m pleased to announce the new charts for the 2022 RCM Piano Syllabus are finished and available below. Nevertheless, I wanted to revise my charts to perfectly match the new 2022 syllabus. However, in comparing 2015 to 2022, I found that there were not many changes made at all. I find these charts help ensure that my students are learning and reviewing their exercises from week to week. Even if you have no intention of sending students to RCM assessments, you might find these charts useful.įrom the 2008 to 2015 syllabi, I recall many technical requirement changes made. I’ve been making these since the 2008 RCM syllabus, and I’ve gotten a lot of great feedback from other piano teachers who have found them helpful over the years! ![]() But it can be cumbersome to describe the RCM technical requirements on students’ assignment sheets each week - especially if you expect students to review all previous material.Įnter my technique charts. I tend NOT to purchase the technique books, because I find that students learn better than when the technical exercises been learned by rote and memorized from day 1. These technical requirements are described in the syllabus and are also notated out in the available RCM technique books. RCM practical exams include technical requirements for each level consisting of certain scales, arpeggios, and chords that must be performed for the adjudicator. When it’s a revision year, RCM teachers are always seeking to learn about the updates and changes compared to the previous syllabus. Every seven years, RCM revises the piano syllabus to incorporate new repertoire, eliminate repertoire that is no longer readily available, and refine the aural and musicianship requirements. ![]()
