The Royal School of Church Music

Homepage

The RSCM is driven by our mission to bring good music, well composed and well made, to worship.

From magazines, music, and books to awards schemes, residential courses, and distance learning; from training for organists to getting pianists onto the organ seat for the first time; from Voice for Life singing and choral education to courses for cathedral singers -- if it is about church music anywhere in the world, the RSCM is there.  We support and enable musicians, composers, directors, singers, instrumentalists, and clergy of many traditions and styles.

We field Regional Music Advisers to help our volunteer committees put on events, bring young people to church music, take music to churches that do not have any, and promote best practice.  In the Salisbury administrative centre, our dedicated staff assists with the myriad support needs of working church musicians:  contracts, commissioning of music and articles, distance and on-site courses, the Sunday by Sunday liturgy planner, licensing and copyright … and much more.

The RSCM is funded through membership dues (organisational and individual), publication sales, and course fees. But to sustain our 4,500 UK members, 1,500 Friends, 600 volunteers, and 2,500 international members, we must also receive charitable gifts and legacies from generous individuals who understand the value of music in worship.  Support us today!
