Royal Academy of Music, London

The Royal Academy of Music is dedicated to training the musicians of the future. Our students go on to make important artistic waves, in every musical discipline and around the world.

They provide bespoke tuition, producing flair, fluency and flexibility. That’s why Academy musicians win contracts with major international labels. And it’s why so many alumni, including Simon Rattle, Elton John, and Annie Lennox, have become household names.

You will learn by doing. That’s why performing is a way of life at the Royal Academy of Music.

They invite the greatest names in the industry to work closely with our students on a wide range of projects, often finishing with a public performance.

There are over 500 events a year, and you can get involved in everything from intimate solo and chamber performances to orchestral concerts, operas, musicals and festivals.

The busy diary of events provides many opportunities to gain ensemble experience and perform publicly, not only in the Academy itself, but in world-famous venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall and Wigmore Hall.

Jazz students have also played at the EFG London Jazz Festival, and our Musical Theatre and Royal Academy Opera productions are fully staged and directed by well-known artists.

Whether you’re an instrumentalist, singer or composer with new music to bring to the world, there are myriad options to showcase your talent.
