RNCM questions and answers for Mead & Thornton

Steven Mead and David Thornton will be making themselves available for plenty of questions from euph and baritone players looking to decide to study at the RNCM in Manchester next year.

Mead
  If you are looking to study at the RNCM on euph or baritone then makes sure you find out more...

Royal Northern College of Music euphonium tutors Steven Mead and David Thornton will be holding a special online Question & Answer session later this week about all things related to courses undertaken by euphonium and baritone students.

Time and place

In making the announcement about the initiative that will take place on Thursday 10th September (2.00pm UK time) David said: "If you're applying this time round you will definitely have questions about the audition process, course content, lesson provision and much more.

If you're thinking about conservatoire study as a future option this will also be for you. We'd like to meet as many people as possible."

Steven added: "Applications are now being accepted for admission to the Royal Northern College of Music for September 2021.

At this time of year students have many questions regarding applications, the process and what is expected. So we are organising a Zoom meeting for anyone who is interested in auditioning for the RNCM, so we can try to answer your questions."

Send in questions

Questions can be sent in advance if people wish via Facebook comments or messenger.

If you wish to be a part of the zoom meeting you send Steven a message through his Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/steven.mead10
