The Royal College of Music (RCM) has announced the launch of the RCM Young Bassoon Programme – a free initiative providing young players with the opportunity to learn more about the instrument and meet other like-minded musicians. 

Bassoonists between Grade 4 and post-diploma are invited to apply for the opportunity. Those chosen for the programme will gain valuable audition advice, develop performance skills and will receive peer-to-peer support from other young bassoonists. 

The course will be led by RCM bassoon professors including Sarah Burnett, Martin Gatt, Joost Bosdijk, Emily Hultmark and Roberto Giaccaglia who all hold positions in leading orchestras and chamber ensembles, with support from RCM postgraduate students.
