Palgrave resident wins gold medal from Royal Conservatory
February 13, 2015 · 0 Comments
The Royal Conservatory of Music has congratulated Palgrave resident Lorraine McNally, who won a Gold Medal for scoring the top mark in Ontario and Québec on the Grade 1 Guitar examination.
McNally is an adult student. Her teacher is Daniel LaBrash.
Regional Gold Medals are awarded each academic year (Sept. 1 to Aug. 31) to Conservatory examination candidates in Preparatory A and B and Grades 1 to 10 who achieve the highest mark in their respective province or designated region. Eligible candidates must score at least 80 per cent on their practical examination and must have completed the co-requisite theory examinations for their respective grade and discipline. Gold Medal ceremonies are held annually in cities across Canada, often in conjunction with Convocation ceremonies, to recognize students’ achievements and acknowledge the contributions of their teachers.
The Royal Conservatory of Music is one of the largest and most respected music and arts education institutions in the world. The Certificate Program provides a recognized standard of musical achievement through an effectively sequenced course of study and individual student examinations from beginner to advanced levels. Each year, nearly 100,000 examinations are written in communities across North America.
