The Royal Military School of Music (RMSM) trains musicians for the British Army's fourteen regular bands, as part of the Royal Corps of Army Music. For more than a century and a half, from 1857 until August 2021, the school was based at Kneller Hall in Twickenham.[1]
Today, the Royal Military School of Music has two branches:
- "initial trade training" takes place at HMS Nelson in Portsmouth (at a shared facility with the Royal Marines School of Music);
- "subsequent trade training" takes place at Gibraltar Barracks, Minley.[2]
RMSM is now part of the Royal School of Military Engineering Group.
