Education and Courses

In fulfilling its educational mission, the RSCM is building three core programmes:

Voice for Life (singing in church – singing in the community)
Skills of the Church Musician (church music skills and leadership)
Sacred Music Studies (enabling worship with music)

All three core programmes embrace formal and informal learning through practice, experience and reflection, all related to the local situation. Education and training are undertaken formally through courses and programmes of learning, which can all lead to awards and qualifications. Informal and ongoing education and training are achieved through publications, advice and events offered by the RSCM. All of these seek to offer models of good practice and opportunities for individual and/or group development.

To date, the Voice for Life and Sacred Music Studies programmes are the most complete of the three programmes. Skills of the Church Musician is currently under development; the first phase will begin during 2008 and the whole programme should be available by January 2009.
