Most pieces come from a recognized syllabus.
Unless a class says otherwise, selections come from the current or one previous Royal Conservatory of Music or Conservatory Canada syllabus. If they conflict, the current RCM syllabus sets the level. Pop, jazz, fiddle, and similar classes may use other repertoire when it matches the student's level.
Adjudicator comments stay private.
Competitive adjudication sheets do not display a numeric mark, but teachers may request marks after the festival. Adjudicator comments are not published publicly without explicit student and parent consent.
