All competitors must provide the Adjudicator with a published copy of the piece of music being

Competitors are advised not to share books but, instead, bring their own music books. All competitors must announce their name, the title and the composer of the music they intend to
play in a clear and audible voice.
Repeats are not to be played except in the case of first and second endings and if the repeat is of
short duration (eg. approximately eight measures). Competitors (male and female) are required to bow (not curtsy) at the conclusion of playing their
piece as a way of thanking the audience for their attention. Teachers are asked to provide a footstool if required by the competitor. With the exception of the Own Choice classes, music is to be selected from the current editions of:
Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM), RCM Piano Official Examination Syllabus, RCM Popular
Selection List (for Popular Selections category only), Conservatory Canada (CC) and Connections
by Christopher Norton.
In order to be eligible for a monetary award (scholarship), a competitor must perform in a minimum
of three classes or in the Concert division (classes 101-107). It is the responsibility of the teacher to ensure that a competitor does not perform the same selection
in consecutive years.
