Fantastic workshop today with @manasamitraUK, Lucy Nolan and Duncan Chapman. Inspiring insight into improvisation, exploring different ragas, and the value of fully investing in the creative process. Great to see our trainees embrace every challenge with enthusiasm and openness.

Celebrating 30 years of the RMSoM at HMS Nelson. A fantastic lunchtime concert marking three decades in Portsmouth. All staff and personnel of HMNB-P were invited to attend, with the performance expertly led by instructors from the School. A proud moment for all involved.

Drummers aboard HMS Warrior today! What an incredible sight and sound for our guests. Our Service Children loved having a go and playing the drums, just like Polly and Hector in Race to the Sailors' Rest. Thanks to the @RMSchoolofMusic for making it so memorable.

To culminate a week of Adventurous Training in the Brecon Beacons, RMSoM trainees swapped walking boots for instruments and performed a charity concert supporting Mountain Rescue. Enjoyed by the local community, the event raised funds for a great cause.
