The Popular Selection List, 2017 Edition, is an addendum to The Royal Conservatory Piano Syllabus, 2015 Edition, which embodies the official requirements for the piano examinations conducted by The Royal Conservatory Certificate Program.

The Popular Selection List is a compilation of non-classical pieces, carefully selected to suit each level. Students in Levels 1 to 9 have the option of substituting a piece chosen from the Popular Selection List for one etude in their level. Students should consult the Piano Syllabus, 2015 Edition, for detailed information on substitution policies.

Students do not need prior approval from the Certificate Program to use a piece from the Popular Selection List as a substitute for one of the etudes from the same level. Each piece has musical value, containing rhythmic or technical challenges pertinent to the level for which it has been selected. The required edition for each selection is clearly identified. These editions have been chosen to ensure that students prepare the appropriate arrangement at each level. Please consult the Bibliography on p. 27 for more information on the collections and sheet music referenced in the Popular Selection List.

Da Capo, Dal Segno Signs, and Repeats• When performing repertoire in an examination, students should observe Da Capo and

Dal Segno signs, unless stated otherwise in the Popular Selection List, 2017 Edition.• Repeat signs should generally be omitted. However, repeat signs should be observed

only if indicated in the Popular Selection List, 2017 Edition.
