Former students of the RCM hold key roles in music and the arts in all parts of the world – as performers, teachers, composers, conductors and animateurs. The RCM was named top institution for Performing Arts in the UK for fourth consecutive year in the 2019 QS World University Rankings.

The RCM has over two hundred members of professorial (teaching) staff and over one hundred teachers in the Junior Department – the majority of whom are busy professionals with worldwide reputations, who include teaching among the various musical activities that they regularly undertake.
