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.
As we enter the Church’s holiest season, we invite you to pause and watch the video of compline, using a beautiful new setting by Lucy Walker. If you would like to use this yourself, copies are available from our webshop.
This is just one example of how 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.
