Did you know we have a trophy program for students excelling in their music exams?

If you are a member of our branch and have a student who completed an RCM or CC exam between September 2024-August 2025 and they received 80% or above, you can nominate them for a trophy from the branch! Once all submissions are received by October 15 2025, the student with the highest mark in each grade gets a personalized trophy which is either presented to them at our Canada Music Week performance or is distributed to the teacher to present.

Any teacher within the branch can submit students, and there is no additional cost to this award program - we love celebrating all of the incredible hard work of teachers and students that goes into these exams.

Questions? Reach out!
