Primary instrument/specialism
- Conducting (Brass Band)
The MMus Brass Band Conducting programme is available over two years, full-time. For more information, please see our website: http://www.rwcmd.ac.uk/conducting .
During the application and audition process, you must select which instrument(s) you wish to specialise in for the duration of your course. On this course, you can choose from the following options:
Only one instrument is studied. It may be possible to study a further instrument formatively, but this will not contribute towards the qualification.
For all courses, you must select at least one specialism from the 'primary' list. For those studying primary/secondary pathways, two instruments may be selected – one from the 'primary' list and one from the 'secondary' list. Joint pathway students may select any two instruments from either list.
*If you are an international applicant, or you are applying for a postgraduate course, or are choosing certain assessment locations, the 'on time' deadline may be later in the year - please contact the conservatoire directly.
This is the deadline for applications to be completed and sent for this course. If the university or college still has places available you can apply after this date, but your application is not guaranteed to be considered.
The following entry points are available for this course:
International applicants whose first language is not English will need to gain an English language qualification. For more information, please see our website: https://www.rwcmd.ac.uk/englishlanguage
