Hello Everyone, update on RCM's actions for History testing amidst this Pandemic. For the May exams, which were supposed to take place on May 8, they have been moved back to May 18, and you can complete them between May 18-June 30. If you are planning on taking your history exams sometime between now and December, I suggest you to prepare comparative essays (ex. Between Verdi and Wagner, as they were both 19th cent. opera giants, between La Traviata an Die Walkure, between Berg and Webern, ect.). Other than terms, everything else is multiple choice, but all the short questions (ex. score, era overview) have to be done within 30m. Both the essay sections, short and ISE, get 1 hour each. Good luck :)

Can you do a video on some composers "favorite" keys? For example Beethoven felt C minor was most "emotionly stormy", JS Bach found D minor to be the saddest key, Mozart rarely used minor keys but the ones he did he used G minor etc.

The way this history exam is set up for RCM is completely ridiculous. It is largely a waste of time for the students and it only proves they have good memory and have done a proper cramming. As far as I know it is not part of ABRSM syllabus. Learning precise dates of people birth and death is again ridiculously useless (such as Philippe de Vitry and why Martin Luther ?). It is typically the type of data that one forgets as soon as the exam is over like I forgot the dates of all the battles that I spent hours to repeat. I do believe knowing music history is important and knowing concepts about how polyphonic motet or masses are structured can be (though I guess of little use for the everyday piano teacher) valuable and is part of an overall musical knowledge but know specifically precise dates and precise information about one particular piece is of absolutely no long term value for most people (except a few that will specialize in that particular area), even if they plan to become pro in the musical business.

No, it's not the same with the History exam, especially not in Level 9. In fact, Level 10 Practical is the only level in which you require a grade of 70 or above to get to ARCT.

@jimmytia83724 жыл бұрын
It’s not the same with History, I agree with Debbie. For the level 10 practical, you need a minimum of 70 percent in each section (Ear test: 7; Sight reading: 7; Technical tests/scales and Etudes: 17; Repertoire : 39) or an overall score of 75 to attend ARCT.

No, you have to pass (60+) on level 9 history first, and then you are eligible for the level 10 harmony test.
@naomixiao89014 жыл бұрын
TLDS exactly. And even if that wasn't a requirement, doing level 10 music theory without knowing level 9 stuff is going to be a nightmare. Harmony especially, because it's a fresh start from advanced rudiments and you have to learn completely new concepts like part writing and counterpoint. If you don't know those concepts by doing level 9, learning level 10 will be much harder than necessary. As for history, level 9 covers part of the level 10 content with baroque and classical, especially with some of the composers, and it gives you a good understanding of the baroque and classical styles and things like the patronage system. Basically if you don't study level 9 before level 10, it will be way harder than it already is, whether or not it's required by the rcm.

@@leodong1799 I can tell you from personal experience that RCM offers courses on music. "The Royal Conservatory of Music, branded as The Royal Conservatory, is a non-profit music education institution and performance venue headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 1886 by Edward Fisher as The Toronto Conservatory of Music. Purpose: To develop human potential through ... Location: 273 Bloor Street West; Toronto, Onta... Region served: Canada, US, UK Formation: 1886" (Wikepedia) I am currently studying for a history level 10 exam. They have courses on playing many intruments, of which I am currently playing the piano, and they also have classes for singing. They have theory from level 1(I think, I never took 1 through 4) to level 8. Afterwards, there are history, harmony and counterpoint, and analysis. In both instruments and musical theory, it goes to 10, and after that there is ARCT. I think there is another course you must take in order to become a teacher.
