AN ADDENDUM TO THE PIANO SYLLABUS
2015 EDITION
Preface
The Popular Selection List, 2015 Edition is an addendum to The Royal Conservatorys Piano
Syllabus, 2015 Edition, which embodies the official requirements for the piano examinations
conducted by The Royal Conservatory Certificate Program.
The Popular Selection List is a compilation of non-classical pieces carefully selected to suit each
level. Students in Levels 1 to 9 have the option of substituting a piece chosen from the Popular
Selection List for one etude in their level. Students should consult the Piano Syllabus, 2015 Edition
for detailed information on substitution policies.
Students do not need prior approval from the Certificate Program to use a piece from the Popular
Selection List as a substitute for one of the etudes from the same level. Each piece has musical
value, containing rhythmic or technical challenges pertinent to the level for which it has been
selected. The required edition for each selection is clearly identified. These editions have been
chosen to ensure that students prepare the appropriate arrangement at each level. Please consult
the Bibliography on p. 27 for more information on the collections and sheet music referenced in
the Popular Selection List.
