The Young Artist Certificate & Diploma Program at RSC is designed for talented young musicians seeking a more comprehensive musical education. Open to all students enrolled in private lessons, the program has specific artistic and technical requirements for each of its four levels. While the certificate requirements are challenging, the diploma requirements are even more rigorous.  The requirements are listed in the links below.

Each level typically takes three years to complete. Upon completion, students are awarded a certificate or diploma at RSC’s annual awards evening in early June. For more information, students should speak with their private lesson teacher. For additional questions, please contact Lindsey Robb, Director of Operations.
