Message from the President

The Royal Conservatory of Music was founded in 1886 with the idea that a single
institution could bind the people of a nation together with the common thread of
shared musical experience. More than a century later, The Royal Conservatory of
Music has achieved this dream. The Royal Conservatory of Music is recognized in
communities throughout North America for outstanding service to students,
teachers, and parents, as well as a strict adherence to high academic standards
through a variety of activitiesteaching, examining, publishing, research, and
community outreach.
Students and teachers benefit from a curriculum based on more than a hundred
years of commitment to the highest pedagogical objectives. The strength of the
curriculum is reinforced by the distinguished College of Examinersa group of
fine musicians and teachers carefully selected from across Canada, the United
States, and abroad for their demonstrated skill and professionalism. A rigorous
examiner apprenticeship program combined with regular evaluation procedures
ensures consistency and an examination experience of the highest quality for
candidates.
As you pursue your studies or teach others, you become not only an important
partner with The Royal Conservatory of Music in the development of creativity,
discipline, and goal setting, but also an active participant, experiencing the
transcendent qualities of music itself. In a society where our day-to-day lives can
become rote and routine, the human need to find self-fulfilment and to engage in
creative activity has never been more necessary.
Dr. Peter C. Simon

The Royal Conservatory of Music
Preface
The 2005 edition of the Voice Syllabus represents the work of dedicated teachers,
performers, and examiners whose assistance is here gratefully acknowledged. This
Syllabus replaces all previous voice syllabi, and forms the official requirements of The
Royal Conservatory of Music for voice examinations conducted by RCM Examinations.
The RCM Examinations Certificate Program for voice consists of twelve levels: an
introductory level, ten graded levels (Grades 1 through 10), and an Associate of The
Royal Conservatory of Music (ARCT) diploma. Each level represents a stepping stone
established as a logical assessment point for a developing musician.
Five levels of theory examinations described in the current RCM Theory Syllabus are
designed to complement practical studies and to ensure a comprehensive knowledge and
understanding of various aspects of theory. Required theory examinations begin at the
Grade 5 practical level and include the following subjects: rudiments, harmony, history,
counterpoint, and analysis.
RCM Examinations welcomes examination applications from all interested individuals.
Applications are accepted by RCM Examinations on the understanding that candidates
comply with the procedures and requirements outlined in this Syllabus.

THE EXAMINERS EVALUATION

The examiners written evaluation of a practical

how the final grade was calculated and to assist the
candidate in subsequent music studies.
Examination marks reflect the examiners evaluation
of the candidates performance during the
examination.
Examination marks do not reflect previously
demonstrated abilities and skills, nor do they reflect
the examiners estimation of the candidates

potential for future development.
Results of one examination do not in any way
prejudice the candidates results in subsequent
examinations.
Appeals on practical examinations will not be
considered.
THEORY EXAMINATIONS: PREREQUISITES AND CO-REQUISITES

In order to receive a certificate or diploma for a
practical examination for Grades 5 to ARCT,
candidates must also complete specific RCM
Examinations theory examinations.

practical examination. Candidates are strongly
advised to complete their theoretical work before, or at
the same time as, their practical examination.

completion of theory co-requisites is computed
from the date of the original practical examination,
not from the date of any subsequent supplemental
examinations.
Candidates must complete their ARCT prerequisites
before applying for an ARCT practical examination.
Candidates may not complete their ARCT
prerequisites in the same session in which they take
their ARCT practical examination. Teachers may

visit the Teacher Services section of the RCM
Examinations website to review the examination
histories of candidates who have taken an
examination in the current accademic year. This
service allows teachers to confirm the completion of
prerequisites and co-requisites.
There are no prerequisite or co-requisite theory
examinations for candidates applying for practical

from cantatas, oratorios, and operas must be sung
in the original key. Art songs may be sung in any
key. Vocalises may also be sung in any key.
Language
Candidates are encouraged to sing repertoire in the
original language, and to be as familiar as possible
with the meaning of the words.
In almost all cases, the original language is the
language of the text that was originally set by the
composer. However, there are several notable
exceptions to this rule. In all of these cases, versions
in two different languages are well established in the
repertoire and academically justified:
Selections from the two oratorios by Haydn (Die
Schpfung / The Creation and Die Jahreszeiten / The
Seasons) may be sung in either German or English.
Selections from the two oratorios by Mendelssohn
(Paulus / St. Paul and Elias / Elijah) may be sung in
either German or English.
Selections from Glucks opera Orfeo ed Euridice may
be taken either from the original Italian version
(1762) and sung in Italian, or the revised French
version (1774) and sung in French.
Selections from the oratorio Die letzten Dinge / The
Last Judgement by Louis Spohr may be sung in
either German or English.
Voice Syllabus
Selections from Vauxhall songs by Johann Christian

Bach may be sung in either German or English.
There are a number of stipulations regarding
language for performance of repertoire, as follows.
In the Introductory Level and Grades 1 to 4,
repertoire may be sung in any published language.
In Grades 5 to 7, repertoire may be sung either in
the original language or in a published French or
English translation, but the candidates examination
program must include at least one song in a
language other than English.
For the Grade 8 examination, the candidates
examination program must include at least one
selection in English and at least two selections in a
language other than English.
For the Grade 9 examination, the candidates
examination program must include at least one
selection in English and selections in at least two of
the following languages: French, German, Italian,
Latin, Spanish.
For the Grade 10 and ARCT examinations, the
candidates examination program must include at
least one selection in English and selections in three
of the following five languages: French, German,
Italian, Latin, Spanish.
Recitatives in Grades 8 to 10 must be sung in the
original language.
Opera and oratorio arias and recitatives for the
ARCT examination must be sung in the original
language.
German selections from the Musical Theatre and
Operetta List may be performed in either German
or English. Candidates who choose to sing in
English must use the translation or edition listed in
the Voice Syllabus. (For more information, please see
Musical Theatre Option in List C on p. 14.)
Choice of Verses
This Syllabus does not specify a number or choice of
verses for folk songs or other strophic songs.
Candidates should be prepared to sing their choice
of at least three verses of such songs.
Candidates who choose selections from the Voice
Series, Third Edition, must sing all the verses printed
in the repertoire album.
Da capo Signs and Repeats
When performing repertoire at an examination,
candidates should observe da capo signs.
Repeat signs should ordinarily be ignored.
However, repeat signs in repertoire from the Voice
Series, Third Edition should be observed unless
otherwise indicated.
Examination Requirements

EXAMINATION REPERTOIRE continued

Memory
For the Introductory Level and Grades 1 to 10,
candidates are expected to perform repertoire from
memory. For Grades 1 to 10, marks will be
deducted for each piece not memorized.
(Candidates may elect to perform a piece using the
music; the examination will still be graded, but the
final mark will reflect a significant penalty for
failure to memorize.)
For the Performers and Teachers ARCT
examinations, memorization is compulsory.
Candidates not performing from memory will
receive comments only; no marks will be awarded.
Such performances do not qualify for examination
awards or diplomas.
Recitatives must be memorized.
Vocalises and technical tests need not be
memorized.
Accompaniment
All selections requiring accompaniment must be
performed with accompaniment.
Syllabus Repertoire Lists
In each grade, candidates are encouraged to choose a
balanced examination program that includes a variety
of musical styles and keys. The repertoire for each
grade is divided into several lists, according to form
or stylistic period.
Grades 1 to 6
List A: Folk songs and music composed before
1900
List B: Music composed after 1900
Grades 7 and 8
List A: Music composed or arranged before 1830
List B: Music composed or arranged 18301900
List C: Music composed or arranged after 1900
Grades 9 and 10
List C, Part 1: Music composed or arranged after
1900
List C, Part 2: Musical Theatre and Operetta
ARCT
List C, Part 1: Music composed or arranged after
1900
List C, Part 2: Musical Theatre and Operetta
List D: Opera arias
List E: Oratorio arias
The repertoire for the Grade 10 and ARCT
examinations is further subdivided into four sections
according to voice type: soprano, contralto, tenor,
and bass/baritone.
14
Repertoire from Lists A, B, and C may be chosen

from the lists for any voice type and may be
transposed to any key to suit the candidates voice.
Arias from Lists D and E must be selected from the
candidates voice type and sung in the original key.
Musical Theatre Option in List C
Operetta has been well established for more than a
century, and the art of American musical theatre is a
performing medium in which many classically trained
singers choose to work. Many music schools have
recognized this by incorporating musical theatre into
vocal and opera programs. In the earlier senior
grades, such training also provides excellent
preparation, both vocally and dramatically, for
operatic singing. In the Voice Syllabus, 2005 Edition,
musical theatre selections are introduced in Grade 9,
by which time vocal students should be able to
manage the technical requirementsespecially with
regard to blending of the registersthat the genre
often demands. The musical theatre and operetta lists
include repertoire from Gilbert and Sullivan operettas
and traditional German operettas by Franz Lehr and
Johann Strauss Jr., as well as a wide variety of styles
of American musical theatre ranging from the early
1920s to contemporary times.
Most of the musical theatre and operetta listings in
the Voice Syllabus include an anthology that contains
the selection. Candidates must use either this anthology
or an original score for the operetta or musical.
Musical theatre selections must be chosen from the
works listed for the candidates voice type and sung
in the original key.
German operetta selections may be performed
either in German or in an English translation (as
often performed in North America). Candidates
who choose to sing in English must use the edition
listed in the Voice Syllabus.
The Voice Series, Third Edition
In order to ensure the ready availability of highquality examination materials, The Frederick Harris
Music Co., Limited has published the Voice Series,
Third Edition. This new edition includes nine
Repertoire Albums (Introductory Level through Grade
8) and four books of vocalises and recitatives (for
Grades 5 to 10). Songs and vocalises may be
transposed to suit the voice of the candidate.
Recitatives must be sung in the original key.
Wherever possible, songs are presented in the
original language. Most selections in a language other
than English include either English words to be sung
or a literal English translation printed below the
music. Recitatives are presented in the original
language only, and a literal English translation is
printed below the music.
_____________________________________________________________
EXAMINATION REPERTOIRE continued

Editions
For many repertoire items, the Voice Syllabus listing
includes a suggested edition (indicated by an
assigned publisher abbreviation). These editions have
been chosen for their quality or for their availability
in North America. Where no publisher is indicated,
students are encouraged to use the best edition
availablethe edition that best reflects the
composers intentions.
Editorial markings vary from edition to edition.
Examination marks will not be deducted for altering
these editorial suggestions as long as the resulting
change is musically acceptable.
Availability
The compilers of this Syllabus have made every
effort to ensure that most of the materials listed are
in print and easily available at leading music retailers
throughout North America. If you experience
difficulty in obtaining vocal music in your community,
consult Sources of Vocal Music on p. 135.
However, please note that the publishing industry
changes rapidly. Works go out of print, and
copyrights move from one firm to another. In
addition, the repertoire lists contain a few items that
are no longer in print but that teachers or students
may have in their personal collections. Out-of-print
items are indicated in the lists as [OP]. Candidates
may use an out-of-print work for examination
purposes provided they can obtain the published
work. (Please see Copyright and Photocopying
below.)
Anthologies and Collections
If a repertoire selection is published in a collection of
the composers music or in an anthology containing
music by a number of composers, the title of the
collection or anthology is usually included in the
Voice Syllabus listing. Individual selections may also
be found in other sources.
In order to save space, the titles of some anthologies
have been shortened. The list of Vocal Anthologies
on pp. 130132 gives full bibliographic details for

all anthologies included in the repertoire lists, along
with the shortened form of the title used in Syllabus
listings.
The words vol. and book have been omitted
from the shortened titles. The number following the
title (for example, Opera Anthology, 2) indicates the
volume, book, or set number in which the selection
can be found.
The titles of collections containing works by only
one composer are preceded by the composers name
(for example, Dowland: 50 Songs, 4). The major
exception to this rule is for titles of Lieder by
composers such as Schubert, Schumann,
Mendelssohn, Brahms, Wolf, and Mahler, and
composers of French art songs such as Debussy,
Duparc, and Faur. For these composers, the
publisher abbreviation(s) immediately following the
title refer to the publisher(s) of standard collections
of vocal works for that composer. No titles or
volume numbers are given for these books.
Copyright and Photocopying
Composers, artists, editors, and publishers rely on
sales revenues to contribute to their livelihood.
Photocopying music deprives the creators of due
compensation.
Please note that photocopied music will not be permitted
in the examination room. Candidates who bring
photocopies to the examination will not be examined.
Candidates should bring all music to be performed to
the examination. Candidates who wish to photocopy
one page of a selection for the purpose of facilitating
a page turn may do so with permission from the
publisher. The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited
is pleased to grant permission to festival, recital, and
examination participants to photocopy one page from
Frederick Harris Music publications for the purpose
of facilitating a page turn.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Specific technical tests are given in the requirements
for Grades 1 to 10 and the Teachers ARCT
examinations. Technical tests need not be memorized.
Candidates will be provided with a copy of the
Voice Syllabus
technical tests in the examination and will be

permitted to specify a preferred range. Candidates are
expected to sing exercises with clarity of vowels and
accuracy of pitch and rhythm.
_____________________________________________________________
15
EAR TESTS AND SIGHT SINGING

When singing the required notes for the Rhythm,
Intervals, and Scales sections of the Ear Tests and the
Sight Singing test, candidates are encouraged to use
any system which enables them to produce the
correct pitchesfor example, solfge (fixed do), tonic
sol-fa (moveable do), numbers; candidates may also
use a neutral vowel (such as a).
For the Rhythm section of the Ear Test and the Sight
Singing test, candidates are encouraged to beat one
measure in the appropriate metre before beginning.
This will help them to establish the tempo and to

keep the rhythm accurate.
When singing the Scales test, candidates who choose
to use a moveable do system should use la as the
tonic for minor scales.
harmonic minor scale in sol-fa syllables:
la ti do re mi fa si la si fa mi re do ti la
melodic minor scale in sol-fa syllables:
la ti do re mi fi si la so fa mi re do ti la
REPERTOIRE SUBSTITUTIONS
Substitutions from the Voice Syllabus
Candidates in Grades 1 to 10 may choose to
substitute one repertoire selection from the Voice
Syllabus according to the following guidelines. No
prior approval is required for substitutions from the
Voice Syllabus.
A Grade 7 List C selection will be accepted for
Grade 6 List B.
Grade 10 candidates may substitute a selection
from ARCT List A, List B, List C, Part 1, or List C,
Part 2, but not from the Opera or Oratorio Lists.
Recitatives and vocalises may not be substituted.
Please note that the substitute selection must be
performed exactly as listed in the Voice Syllabus.
Substitutions Requiring Approval
Candidates may request approval to substitute one
repertoire selection not listed in the Voice Syllabus.
Approval of such selections is based on the suitability
of the style and the level of difficulty.
In Grades 1 to 6, the substitute selection may
replace a work in Lists A or B.
In Grades 7 and 8, the substitute selection may
replace a work in Lists A, B, or C.
In Grades 9, 10, and ARCT, the substitute selection
may replace a work in List A, List B, or List C, Part 2.
For ARCT examinations, the substitute selection
may replace a work from Lists A, B, D, or E.
Candidates wishing to include a substitute selection
on their examination programs should complete an
Examination Substitute Piece Request Form (available
at www.rcmexaminations.org). Please note that
Examination Substitute Piece Request Forms must be

photocopies will be destroyed once a decision has
been made.) Published music will be returned
along with the approved form.
Bring the approved Examination Substitute Piece
Request Form to your examination and give it to
the examiner.
Candidates are advised to prepare an alternate work
in case the request is denied. Please note that marks
will be deducted from the final examination mark for
the use of an unapproved piece (other than an Own
Choice Substitution).
Own Choice Substitutions
For Grades 9, 10, and ARCT examinations,
candidates may substitute one repertoire selection not
listed in this Syllabus.
The substitute work may replace a selection in List
C, Part 1.
The substitute repertoire selection must be of equal
difficulty and musical quality to works in the
appropriate syllabus list for that grade, and must be
from the same historical style period.
Judgement shown in choosing a substitute selection
will be considered in the marking. For this reason,
RCM Examinations will not answer questions or
give advice regarding Own Choice Substitutions. It
is the responsibility of the teacher to provide the
appropriate advice.
Candidates should clearly indicate such
substitutions as Own Choice on the list of
repertoire to be handed to the examiner.
Please note that no prior approval is required or provided
for Own Choice Substitutions.

Notes
The Introductory Voice Examination is intended to
give beginning students the experience of
performing for an examiner in a non-competitive,
friendly atmosphere. No marks are given, but the
examiner will prepare an encouraging, positive
written critique. All candidates will receive a
certificate of accomplishment.
In Grades 1 to 4, Vocal production includes
intonation, rhythm, and phrasing. Diction
includes accuracy of vowel formation and
projection of consonants. Presentation includes

deportment, expression, memory, and overall
performance.
In Grades 5 to 8, Vocal production includes tone
quality, breath control, intonation, and rhythm.
Diction includes accuracy of vowel formation and
projection of consonants. Presentation includes
deportment, style, interpretation, memory, and
overall performance.
In Grades 9 and 10, Vocal production includes
tone quality, breath control, intonation, rhythm,
accuracy of vowel formation, and projection of
consonants. Presentation includes deportment,
style, interpretation, memory, and overall
performance.
For the ARCT Examination, Vocal production,
Diction, and Presentation are not marked

quality, breath control, intonation, rhythm,
deportment, style, interpretation, and memory are
all taken into consideration in the marking of
Repertoire.

candidates must achieve either an overall mark of
75 or a minimum of 70 percent in each category of
the examination. (In the Table of Marks, 70
