A career or job in the Corps of Army Music can offer full time employment as a musician within the British Army. A pensionable career potentially to the age of 55. Fantastic travel opportunities with the chance to perform at great venues and events around the world.

What music qualifications do you need?

The Corps of Army Music is interested in your performance and potential rather than just music qualifications. 

Not all musicians have recognised musical qualifications, so with or without them you may gain entry in to the Corps by audition alone. If you can demonstrate you have the potential we are looking for, we can help develop it to the full.

For those with higher levels of qualifications you may be entitled to 1 of 3 possible 'Golden Hello' payments after completion of training.

We will audition you where you will be expected to perform 2 contrasting pieces on your primary instrument/voice and if applicable, on your secondary instrument.

During the audition process your sight reading skills will be tested and your aural perception assessed.

You will also be required to sit a general musicianship paper.
