I am relatively new to the idea of studying at a music college and am not sure what to make of applying to the colleges in CUKAS. People also talk about the Royal Colleges in London and occasionally about Birmingham and RNCM, but what about Leeds College of Music or the Welsh and Scottish colleges?

Is this a group of the best colleges in the country and if so what about Trinity and Guildhall?

Any advice/opinions about Leeds would be most useful!

Thanks

Oh dear! Here we go again...

How I wish I were clever enough with computer literacy to throw up and provide JJ with the LINKS to all the relevant threads on/connected to this topic in the past.

Hi Tess,

If there is any thread that doesn't just talk about how wonderful RCM and RAM are, I would be really interested. I read quite a few different topics over the last few weeks and couldn't hardly find any mention of LCM at all.

well. you know when you apply for university? the admissions service is called UCAS. CUKAS, however is the admissions service for conservatoires.

Thanks for that, I hadn't seen the search button! It has turned up a really good discussion on Leeds in the teacher's forum.
