    “Choosing where to
    study is one of the most
    difficult decisions a
    musician ever makes.
    You need teachers of international reputation, individuals
    who are experienced in working with the most gifted
    musicians of their generation and accustomed to unlocking
    potential you may never have dreamed of. You want plenty
    of opportunity to perform at the highest level, as a soloist
    or an ensemble player. You require an environment that
    nurtures and challenges, an atmosphere rich in artistic
    stimulus with practical resources that reflect and serve your
    ambition, in order to develop your talent to the full.

    You need to live in a city with a cultural life that is


    unsurpassed anywhere in the world. You deserve to study at
    an institution which takes your musical future seriously
    from the day you arrive, and works with you to ensure that
    you enjoy lifelong success and fulfilment from your music.

    We hope that the pages that follow give you an idea


    of what it’s like to be a student at the Royal College of
    Music, London. Remember, you can email your questions to
    the addresses displayed in each section, and do check
    www.rcm.ac.uk regularly for the latest information.”
    Good luck with your decision...

    Professor Colin Lawson Director


    MA(Oxon), MA, PhD, DMus, FRCM, FLCM

    Whether you are from the UK


    or are coming to us from
    further a field, you will feel at
    home at the RCM. Located at
    the heart of South Kensington,
    the College is surrounded by
    culture, with the Royal Albert
    Hall, the Natural History
    Museum (pictured), Science
    Museum and the V&A among
    its neighbours.

    If you are an international


    student, you’ll find that more
    than a third of RCM students
    are from outside the UK,
    providing a rich cultural
    community. Many professors
    have international performing
    and teaching careers. London
    itself is one of the most
    cosmopolitan cities in the
    world, with regular and
    frequent visits from
    internationally renowned
    musicians who conduct RCM
    ensembles, give masterclasses
    and lead workshops. Many
    significant figures of the
    international music profession
    are former students of the
    RCM. Read on to see where
    they are performing, singing,
    working and teaching.
