RCM Prep Class Info

RCM Prep Class Packages, with an experienced RCM Exam Prep Teacher!

 

This class is for you if:

  • You’re in the know (you’ve taken an RCM exam before) and you need to brush up your skills/get psyched up for the next level of exam.

  • You’re a novice who isn’t super sure what I’m talking about — or you don’t know the extent of it — and you want to explore this curriculum in a guided setting.

  • You are interested in working on your ear training and musicianship skills purely for enjoyment and improvement’s sake!

Why would you want to study with me?

  • I support multiple students every year in their pursuit of completing their exam levels — and people don’t usually start out loving clapbacks… but by the end? They are clapping EVERYTHING back.

  • I’ve prepped all levels and ages of singers towards their RCM Exam — I’ve got the knowledge to help you excel. Don’t understand what a sing-back or a chord progression is? I got you. Love this kind of ear training, but just want to challenge yourself to a higher level? I’m your person!

  • My students regularly have great experiences in their exams, and they all say the same thing after it’s over: “Wow, that was so much easier than your mock exam!” To which I reply: “Mission accomplished!”

  • Brag alert! Many of my students have received First Class Honors and above, as well as several who have received the Gold Medal in their level/district/nationally. They worked their butts off, but they had a plan that I helped design and implement.

    I can help you too!

THIS is the book, y’all! Did you know? RCM Grade 8 is the last collected repertoire book - grades 9, 10 and both ARCT levels are all repertoire suggested in the syllabus, and then found in various repertoire books!

I am clearly pretty excited about this RCM thing…🤣

What do you get in your session?

  • Access to a proven curriculum that I built and tested myself that is full of examples that adhere to all RCM exam standards, and is current to the latest 2019 Voice Syllabus.

  • Customized sessions available in private, semi-private, and small group classes

  • Drilling of all relevant skills necessary

  • Repertoire planning and programming, if needed

  • Mock exam at the completion of all sessions; all students will receive written feedback and a “grade”

RCM Exam Prep Course Package Options

  • First choice is: packages of 4, 12, and 16 sessions are available in one on one, semi-private (2 max), and small group classes (4 and up). These are considered intensive packages with more accelerated instruction and drilling and generally culminate in a practical examination of some kind.

  • Second choice is: a package of sessions, similar to my voice lesson tuition studio membership is also available, which represents a year of instruction, is a weekly private session, and is in addition to a weekly voice lesson.

    • These start on a rolling basis, anytime during the year, and are a 12-month commitment. Instruction will start from wherever the student is in their RCM technical/musicianship skills journey, and build up over the course of a year, to culminate in whatever exam level is being pursued, if an exam is the desired outcome.

    • Students who don’t wish to prepare for a practical voice exam will work towards mutually agreed upon goals, set through dialogue with and assessment by Joslin.

 

You do not need to be a current member of JRD Voice Studio to partake in these sessions.

This is a course of study that has helped many of my students solidly prepare for their exams, and achieve great results - I can help you too!
