For the first time in North America, a music exam system has been established for those studying rock, blues, pop, country, funk (etc.) music.

Classical music students have long benefited from the exam system introduced by the Royal Conservatory of Music. The RCM is the national standard for grading music students, though it focuses almost exclusively on Classical music.

StageRight Exams(TM) employ a grading system that provides music instructors with the tools needed to guide their students through a series of practical exams. And so for the first time, pop music students (i.e. most non-classical) can take music exams.

This program is not intended to replace post-secondary studies (please: go to college or university!). StageRight Exams(TM) will, however, fully prepare music students for gigs: they will be ready to perform, ready to record, ready to jam.

Currently, exams are offered for the following instruments:

Electric Guitar
Acoustic Guitar
Bass Guitar

To get started, click on “About the Program” on the left.

We are in the process of developing our system for these instruments:
- Voice (Female)
- Voice (Male)
- Drums
- Keyboard
- Saxophone

The term “pop”, for the purpose of this system, refers to popular music: rock, country, funk, blues, jazz, metal, folk, etc.
