About the School
The Royal Military School of Music (RMSM) is based at Kneller Hall, Twickenham next to the Twickenham Rugby ground. It is the Phase two and three training establishment for musicians and the central training establishment for music in the British Army.
The Corps of Army Music needs musicians who are keen to make a real musical contribution to the ensemble. We don't try to teach a standard way of doing things: we expect the trainees to think for themselves, be creative, and develop their own individual approach to music-making. This will continue once each musician reaches a band.
Every musician has something to offer the ensemble and often has talents beyond their primary instrument. As with all music and indeed soldiering 'team work' is crucial.
Tuition at the RMSM is delivered by some of the country's leading instrumental and academic professors, many of them the same people who play in the great London orchestras and teach in the leading London music colleges, thus ensuring strong links with the world of civilian professional music.
The military training and supervision is administered by the best instructors and staff from within the Corps of Army Music and the wider Army.
The training at the Royal Military School of Music is not only excellent in preparing you for your career in the Army and developing as your career progresses it is enjoyable and friends can be made for life.
