RSCM UK Memberships
The RSCM offers a wide range of benefits to members, to help you and the other musicians in your worshipping community make the best music possible.
If you are new to the RSCM, please see below for further information about our UK membership categories and associated benefits. We encourage our current members to run events through their RSCM Local Area Committees. Click here to see reasons why this would benefit you.
