Intensive individual training, masterclasses with international artists, and specialist group tuition are complemented by a range of performance and audition activities, both at the RNCM and through Professional Experience Schemes with partners including the Hallé, BBC Philharmonic, and Opera North. These enable students to develop their musical and personal skills
and gain an understanding of the professional protocol in a range of settings. Students within the School also undertake additional lessons on their relevant doubling, associated, or jazz instrument, further enhancing their progression as a versatile and industry-ready musician.

Repertoire covered includes the established traditions of European wind, brass, and percussion ensemble playing, and we place a strong emphasis on new music, including works written by our student composers. Students also benefit from School specific performance opportunities and enjoy cross-School collaborations through our numerous orchestras and ensembles.
