2021 Spring Practical Examination Announcement

CNCM will continue to hold ALL spring examinations in an online format to ensure that children are able to meet their musical goals and have a continuous and purposeful plan of study. CNCM wishes to share a message of calm and normalcy with our teachers and students; while it may not be quite “business as usual”, with our planned accommodations students will continue to have opportunities for success, which will be ‘music to our ears’.

The following list may assist with process – please share with your families to create a positive experience for all:

1. Audiences may need to be restricted for performance examinations. This number will be based on provincial and national guidelines, as well as availability of space to accommodate physical distancing.
2. Centres may be set-up within teachers' studios – once again based on provincial and national Covid-19 guidelines. CNCM administration will work with teachers to determine the best plan for location of examinations.
3. CNCM will supply both teachers and students with appropriate protocol.
4. CNCM will offer flexible sessions/centres keeping physical contact to a minimum based on provincial and national
   ​Covid-19 guidelines.

CNCM acknowledges that live performances are always our first choice, but meeting goals is equally important and online exams make this possible.
