New Online Course! Basic Rudiments

Just wanted to let you know about a new course I'm offering beginning in January. The online format may allow students to participate from home that wouldn't otherwise be able to fit it into their schedule. This class is open to all of North America, in case you know of some student stranded in some outpost without a music theory teacher. Feel free to pass this post on to anyone you think may be interested.

Basic Rudiments Class

Covering the requirements prescribed by RCM Examinations and the National Music Certificate Program. Please note that this examination is a co-requisite for the RCM/NMCP Grade 5 practical examination.

This online class, featuring live audio/video interaction, will run from January 16 – May 7^th, 2008 with the expectation of the student registering and completing the RCM/NMCP Basic Rudiments examination on May 10. Students are welcome to participate without the intention to complete the examination, but no credit can be earned toward any certificate program without completing the examination. This class will be taught by Scott Ashby, A.R.C.T., B.Sc., M.Mus. Scott has successfully guided many students through the RCM rudiments requirements.
