"Choosing where to study is one of the most difficult decisions a musician ever makes...
You need teachers of international repute, individuals experienced at working with the most gifted musicians of their generation, accustomed to unlocking potential you may never have dreamed of. You want plenty of opportunity to perform at the highest level, as soloist or ensemble player. You require an environment that both nurtures and challenges, an atmosphere rich in artistic stimulus with practical resources that reflect and serve your ambition, in order to develop your talent to the full.
You need to live in a city with a cultural life that is unsurpassed anywhere in the world. You deserve to study at an institution which takes your musical future seriously from the day you arrive, and works with you to ensure that you enjoy lifelong success and fulfilment from your music.
We hope that our website will give you and idea of what it's like to be a student at the Royal College of Music, London.
...good luck with your decision."
