This program is a continuation of the Precollege program or the Young Artist program and is more geared towards musicianship and more specific performance skills. Completion of this non-degree program is equivalent to passing the Licentiate of the Royal School of Music (LRSM), Licentiate of Trinity College London, or Licentiate in Music AMEB (LMusA), Licentiate of Royal Conservatory of Music Toronto (LRCM), or the third year of college generally in Europe and America for music performance. The length of study is three years, with a maximum limit of five years. Each student must give a final recital of at least 60 minutes in length for the completion of this program.
