We are delighted to share the news that nine Rugby School students have attained music diplomas. Individually, these are incredible achievements but it is also extremely unusual for a school to achieve so many successes in one sitting - 9 in total and 7 gaining distinction. Both the DipABRSM and LRSM exams have a substantial academic component in addition to musical proficiency. Hence, these students can now proudly append the respective letters to their names, signifying their accomplishment.

Ben, one of our Diploma recipients, remarked, "Receiving the diploma has opened up fantastic opportunities for me. Not only has it enhanced my learning process and elevated my performance standards, but it has also provided valuable insights into the theoretical underpinnings and historical contexts of the pieces I've studied. Understanding the why and how behind their creation has profoundly influenced my approach to playing them. It's something I'll definitely carry forward in my musical journey."
