RCM Junior Department auditions 2023

[MozartIsMyBestie]

I couldn't find a recent thread about auditions at the Royal College of Music junior department so I thought I'd start one! Anyone have any experience with their DC? If they didn't get in what happened? Any feedback from the panel? My son is applying for the Mini-Bass course this year. Has anyone auditioned for that in the past? Or even this year?

I hope you get good news soon, it must seem like ages to wait. So many opportunities for double bass players throughout their life so a good choice of instrument! I would have thought there would be feedback if unsuccessful this time so you can go away and know what to work on.

Hi did you receive an answer from them? My son applied for the same program We didn't receive an answer yet. I started to think, that mb they forgot to send it :).

@JRBS The original email inviting to audition said they'd let applicants know by 21st April. We applied on a whim. My son is a singer. What about your son? Has he taken any grades on instruments? It's hard to know what they're looking for on what is essentially a beginner's course.

Hi, thank you for your answer. It is great to know we are not alone, who are still waiting :). My friend's child received a letter from them before Easter, that' s why I started to worry, that they forgot about us.
Good luck to your son!
My son has grade 5 on piano.

Hey DP - wondering if you have received anything? We did our audition after Easter but haven’t got any feedback…

It's 4 weeks since our audition. We were told we could chase today. What date were you given on the initial email inviting you to audition?
