With a focus on both educational and performance material, all CNCM programs use Canadian content. Conservatory publications, such as the Northern Lights and Making Tracks series, help place Canadian composers and their music into festivals around the world.

Northern Lights and Making Tracks are CNCM flagship series. Both offer various levels of unique works of Canadian music. Composers from across the country continue to submit their work for consideration of inclusion in these publications, ensuring students across the country and abroad an excellent source of  Canadian content.

In addition to their flagship series, CNCM also produces two syllabi on piano examinations and pedagogy diploma program material, as well as handbooks for pedagogical examinations. CNCM also publishes a regular newsletter, which enjoys a subscription base of 2000 music professionals.

Far from being works directed only at teachers and students associated with the conservatory, CNCM publications are designed for use by all music academies and festivals. Indeed, as a vessel for promoting Canadian music, widespread use of CNCM publications is actively encouraged. CNCM publications are sold in stores across North America, online through Mayfair Music or directly from CNCM.
