SPECIAL PROGRAMS
TRANSCRIPT BOOSTER
Age: 5-17 years old
Why this program?
There are lots of benefits in preparing for RCM, ABRSM, or State Festivals: students get more performance experiences, receive feedback from adjudicators, receive certificates for passing each level, and they can use these acclamations in their resumes and transcripts when applying for colleges and jobs. On top of it all, trust us when we say it is NOT extra work; parents hear certifications and exams they get nervous because they think it is additional work that kids have to prepare for. In reality, most students are already playing and memorizing music required for those exams. we promise your child will feel a great sense of achievement as they work through each level.
What students will learn
It is very much a goal-oriented learning experience during different stages of their piano playing journey. For each level, students will have to prepare 3-4 songs (depending on the exam) along with techniques (scales, rhythm clapbacks, sight reading and aural training).
