LEVEL SYSTEM
In order to help measure students' progress and achievement, the Conservatory has developed a series of levels in each department. Students who wish to participate in the level system are required to play for a jury at the end of the year to determine their level placement. On completion of each level, students will be awarded a certificate of achievement. Please check with the registration desk for the level guidelines for each department. A fee of $25 per year is charged to participate in the level system.
