Play symphony halls, solos and parade squares.
Your work:
Overview
Dance music; chamber repertoire; military marches; symphonic concerts; jazz - just a few of the types of music that RAF Musicians play over the course of a year. You'll perform at a variety of engagements ranging from State ceremonial occasions to recording sessions. You could play at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo or at a dinner for the Queen in Windsor Castle.
You'll be posted to one of the RAF's three bands at RAF Uxbridge in London or RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire. All our members - whether woodwind, brass, percussion or string players - learn band drill and a variety of playing styles. You'll also have an operational role, providing medical support in times of crisis and war.
Within your first few years, you'll probably be detached overseas for anything from a few days to a few weeks. You could travel to Cyprus or the Falkland Islands and play for personnel stationed overseas, or go on a small group tour to support UK troops on operations. You may also be involved in one of the major concert tours that take place annually.
Your training:
Recruit training
Your career will start with up to 11 weeks of recruit training at RAF Halton in Buckinghamshire. The course is designed to help you adjust to a military environment. As well as fitness and military training, you'll also learn about the RAF lifestyle.
Specialist training
The next step is a period of specialist training at RAF Uxbridge. If you already play to the standards of a Performer's Diploma, you'll spend approximately 4 weeks at Headquarters Music Services (HQMS), undertaking instrumental lessons, learning band drill and completing some written work, prior to your first posting. If you don't yet play to the standards of a Performer's Diploma, you'll spend approximately 12 weeks at HQMS studying your primary instrument, learning band drill, completing aural lessons and written projects. You'll then be posted to one of the three RAF bands.
Ongoing development
As a Musician, you'll have extensive opportunities for further professional development throughout your career. When you're not performing or rehearsing,
There will be plenty of time to practise, learn new musical skills, or participate in a modular training system that culminates in an LRSM diploma or BMus degree.
Your future:
Prospects
Your career will start with nine weeks of recruit training at RAF Halton in Buckinghamshire. The course is designed to help you adjust to a military environment. As well as fitness and military training, you'll also learn about the RAF lifestyle.
Professional training
Following recruit training, you will undergo up to 4 months training at the training cell of HQMS, studying your primary instrument, theory of music and band drill. The rank of Senior Aircraftman/woman may be achieved at the end of this course.
Transferable skills
As a Musician in the RAF, you will have all the development opportunities and career prospects of your civilian counterparts, together with the chance to gain unique experiences while working around the world. When they decide to leave the RAF, many RAF Musicians re-enter the civilian musical world as either teachers or performers.
Entry qualifications:
Age limits
17-29
Academic qualifications
You must play to at least Grade 8 standard as defined by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM). You must also have GCSE/SCEs at Grade G/6 in English language and maths. In addition, you must perform well at an audition, in the form of a specialist interview at RAF Uxbridge.
Nationality
You must have been a citizen of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland since birth.
Residency
