Enhance Employability Skills

All of the UK's Conservatoires aim to do the same thing: to train students for the music profession, with the emphasis on your first study training, whether that is in performance, composition or music technology.

At Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, we firmly believe that developing a range of complementary skills in other areas such as harmony, aural and critical thinking are just as important for your longer term development and career prospects.
