What this course is about
UCAS code: 300F
Here's what Royal Conservatoire of Scotland says about its Music Performance course.
BMus (Hons) Performance is a four-year, full-time programme aimed at honing performers’ potential. It is strongly practical and vocational in purpose, with most of your study time devoted to individual and ensemble performance activities. However, this is also substantially complemented by a core curriculum in professional skills development, research skills, and the development of critical and reflective thinking.
The programme’s structure and content are designed to allow you to develop the full range of your creative and technical abilities and to equip you with the professional skills and knowledge that will enable you to pursue your musical interests and aspirations to the highest level. The BMus Programme offers a unique opportunity for you to immerse yourself in a creative and supportive environment dedicated to the study and practice of music in a multidisciplinary setting that includes dance, drama, film and production programmes alongside music.
Our aim for our graduates is to prepare you for both postgraduate study and professional employment as performers, teachers, and in other careers as part of the portfolio career common within the contemporary music profession.
Overseas Applicants We will be holding auditions at venues across the world, but audition requirements AND application deadline dates will change depending on your principal study and where you are applying to. We will be operating a pre-screening process for some instrumental departments. Full information on our locations, dates and requirements can be found on our website. Please check this prior to applying.
All international applicants and those that are submitting a recording must also include a spoken introduction recording that is separate from your instrumental performance. This must be submitted to your Acceptd application by the relevant application deadline for where you are auditioning. All recorded submissions should contain a spoken introduction in English. Please tell us:
- Your name
- A bit about your musical background and training you’ve had till now
- Your musical ambitions
- Your reasons for applying to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
- This video should be no longer than 3 minutes long and separate to your performance video
Our overseas auditions will consist of one panel member and will also be recorded for review by the relevant department. • Please note for live overseas auditions, we cannot guarantee that a member of our teaching staff for your specific discipline will be on the panel. • All applicants will need to provide their own instruments (except piano). • All applicants will need to provide their own accompanist for overseas auditions.
