• Live performance in some of the greatest venues all over the world
• A structured career
• Train and earn musical qualifications - Diplomas and a possible degree in music

The Corps of Army Music can accept all instrumentalists including:

• Brass
• Woodwind
• Percussion

The course, which is completely free, will provide an honest and realistic insight into army life within the Corps of Army Music and indeed the Band. This includes working along side the band and learning some basic military skills.
