Royal Conservatory of Music Piano Pedagogy Certificate Program
One of the most interesting examinations of late is that offered by the Royal Conservatory of Music in piano pedagogy.
This three tiered scheme offers examinations in elementary, intermediate, and advanced pedagogy, and with respective practical co-requisites, leads to an ARCT Diploma.
The pedagogy exam happens in two parts: a viva voce examination and a written examination.
The elementary pedagogy certificate requires completion of an RCMusic grade nine practical examination in piano, and includes pedagogy from the rank beginner level up to and including grade two.
The intermediate pedagogy certificate requires completion of a grade 10 practical piano examination, and includes pedagogical concepts and repertoire from grade three to grade six inclusive.
The advanced pedagogy certificate is taken in combination with a Teacher's ARCT, and includes repertoire and concepts from grade seven through to grade 10. The Teacher's ARCT diploma is awarded only to students age 18 or older.
Each level must be taken successively.
In preparing for the exam, you will consult and study from reputable piano pedagogy text books to learn concepts and teaching methods relevant to your pedagogy level, and will study repertoire from the appropriate level to apply pedagogical concepts to.
The viva voce is an interactive portion of the exam, whereby you have the opportunity to answer relevant questions posed by the examiner regarding technique, interpretation, and methodology.
Through the performance of repertoire at the appropriate level, you can demonstrate your understanding of concepts, interpretation and technique within, and then discuss pedagogical aspects of, and ways to assist your students' learning experience.
The written exam focuses on aspects of pedagogy not geared towards an oral setting, with the chance to support answers through repertoire examples and illustrations.

Personally speaking, the Royal Conservatory of Music Piano Pedagogy examination is an enjoyable and rewarding examination, one that should enhance the career path of any aspiring teacher.
I am happy to answer questions regarding this course and exam for anyone with interest.
I am happy to offer this course through Skype for those too far away to commute weekly.
