In March 2011, Carnegie Hall partnered with The Royal Conservatory to launch The Achievement Program, a national system of music study and assessment for students and teachers across the United States.
Recently, a feature article on The Program appeared on the front page of The Baltimore Sun, and was reprinted in the Los Angeles Times. Here is an excerpt:

[Approximately 100,000] students, from young children to nonagenarians, take the Royal Conservatory Examinations annually in Canada, where there are about 5 million alumni of the program.
