The BMusPerf programme is four years long.

Each study year runs for 30 weeks from September to June: 24 academic teaching weeks and 6 performance spotlight weeks. There are no academic classes during the performance spotlight weeks, but your practical lessons continue across all weeks.

The performance spotlight weeks provide you with the time and space to focus solely on string solo or ensemble projects with international and national tutors and conductors.

The BMusPerf degree at the RIAM takes in small numbers of students each year, ensuring you will have a lot of contact time with your tutors.

This course includes:

Two hours each week in your one-to-one lesson

An hour a week with an accompanist

Weekly chamber music coaching

Access to a range of orchestral opportunities

Frequent masterclasses

Small academic classes to help you excel in theoretical studies
