How do i get into RSAMD?

I%26#039;m 15 years old and female and I%26#039;ve just sat my Standard Grade Music (Scottish equivalent of GCSE) and am expected to get a Grade 1 (highest mark). I sing as my main instument. I%26#039;m doing Higher Music next year and I hope to do Advanced Higher the year after that. After school I would like to go to RSAMD to do either Music or Education of Music, and I hope to be a Music Teacher if not a musician.





Does anyone know what kind of standard I need to be at to stand a chance of getting into RSAMD?





Also, do you know what other courses are available in Scotland which are similar ?





Thanks for your help.

At least Grade 8 Associated Board (distinction) on your main instrument/voice.





If you apply for music you would be taking the BMus course - this can also be taken at universities where there is less emphasis on performing and a wider variety of subjects studied e.g. history of music.





You can also take an MA or a specific teaching course.





The following links are very useful:

- RSAMD official website with all the information you need about applying and what is required of you at the audition.

- the specific page that tells you about the courses on offer and gives information about open days





You should also read their prospectus which can be found on the webpage for up to date information.





Hope this helps: if you have any more specific questions just ask as I am about to apply for uni and conservoitres so should know everything you need to know!
