What is it?
Welcome
The Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) enables the flourishing of church music. There is much to explore on this website as to how we do this.
This image is taken from our recent course for young singers in Beverley, Yorkshire. This is just one example of how we are committed to giving people of all ages positive encounters with church music, setting them up for a lifelong journey. Across the UK, Ireland, and worldwide, we support thousands of churches, schools, and other institutions, together with thousands more individual members. Scroll down for our latest news and sign up for our newsletter: Notes from the Director. We warmly welcome new Members, Friends, and supporters.

Safeguarding
We hold to the core Christian belief that each person has value and dignity which comes directly from God’s creation of humanity in His own likeness. Among other things, this implies a duty to value each person as someone who bears the image of God and is loved equally by God, and therefore should be protected from harm.
For more information and to view our Safeguarding Policy click here, or contact Emma Huxley RSCM Safeguarding Officer via email safeguarding@rscm.com or call 01722 424856.
If you need immediate help out of hours or when the Safeguarding Officer is not available please contact the local authority Out of Hours Service or if someone is at immediate risk ring 999. Please email or leave a message for the RSCM Safeguarding Officer if you do this.
