The world evolves. Needs change. And we need to change right along with it. From the beginning, the RCCO has devoted itself to providing professional development and outreach support to our members in today’s working environment. No matter what your skill level or stage of development, as a member you have a wide variety of resources available to support your education, accreditation, financing and professionalism.
The College offers a seven-level certification program for both organists and choir directors to provide them with internationally recognized professional accreditations. The Travelling Clinician program brings in accomplished teachers throughout the year to offer local workshops across the country on a variety of practical organ and choral topics. For the 16 to 25 crowd, an Organ Academy is held each summer during the national convention to offer learning opportunities specifically tuned to the needs of developing young organists.
These national programmes complement a multitude of local initiatives such as recitals, social events and workshops, including Pipe Organ Weeks, aimed at introducing young people of all ages to the organ and its music.
We recognize that the development of musical skills requires a significant commitment in time, effort and resources to realize your dreams. To match this commitment, the RCCO offers its members a wide variety of scholarships and grants at both the national and local levels for organists and choir directors who wish to develop and advance their skills. The RCCO also provides competitions for organists to build their professional credentials.
The College is founded on a code of ethics link to code of Ethics that assures the highest level of professionalism. A Professional Concerns group offers arbitration and dispute resolution to all our members. This, along with local Centre support and collegial encouragement from members across the country provides a strong social and professional support network for all our members.
Learn and grow. Be supported.
