NEWS UPDATE
November 2009

The partnership between the RSCM and Bangor University will change in Autumn 2010. In advance of this, because of restrictions on the number of distance-learning students that are supported financially by the Welsh Assembly Government, the University is now unable to admit any new students to this course. Those currently registered on the programme will be able to complete their studies and gain the above awards.

The RSCM is currently reviewing the content and delivery of programmes to support church musicians and clergy in leading music in worship. If you would be interested in following a similar programme of study at a future date, please email expressions of interest to sacredmusic(at)rscm.com.

Further training opportunities for church musicians

The RSCM continues to provide a wide range of events and courses at local, national and international level.

Church Music Skills is a new flexible learning programme leading to an RSCM award. It has been designed to help church musicians develop the practical skills they need for their role and to equip those who want to be able to lead music in worship.
