Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi Christian University (JHPCU) was founded as a non-profit, spiritual and educational corporation, in Miami, Florida, USA in 2017. It offers University validated graduate degrees in Theology and Sacred Music at Masters and Doctoral levels. Both their President and Provost are Fellows of our Guild and our Treasurer, Dr Michael Walsh, is the Professor of Sacred Music and is currently engaged in designing a new Master of Sacred Music degree.

The Guild of Musicians and Singers is proud to work in close association with the National College of Music and Arts, London, which was founded in 1894. The NCM holds examinations throughout the UK and as far afield as Hong Kong in all the standard instruments and singing. They are proud of their ability to adapt to the needs of teachers and pupils, holding examinations at suitable times and venues to accommodate their needs rather than simply for the convenience of the College.

Founded in 1992, The North & Midlands School of Music offers musicians from all disciplines the opportunity to gain a recognised qualification.  The School offers a range of diplomas including Associate, Licentiate and Fellowship levels. We also offer a range of examinations in dissertation, composition, conducting and accompaniment.

Their diplomas are complemented by a range of academic hoods. Once you have joined the School, you will be entitled to purchase via the School the Members hood (non-award bearing) and an academic gown. 

The FCM aims to increase public awareness and appreciation of cathedral music, encourage high standards in choral and organ music and raise money for choirs in need.

The Guild of Church Musicians was formed in 1888 and exists to encourage all musicians within the Church to attain the highest standards of music in the worship of Almighty God.  The joint patrons of the Guild are the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster. 

Membership (£20 due in January each year) is open to anyone interested in church music and whilst the majority of members live in the UK the Guild has members living in all parts of the world. There is also a separate branch of The Guild in Australia.

Since the College's foundation in 1890, Victoria College has had one aim, to encourage the participation and development of the Arts at all levels by putting the candidate first. With a wide portfolio of examinations from beginner to diploma, exams are held in a wide network of UK centres as well as abroad. Opportunities in composition and research  sit alongside traditional subjects, as well as popular instruments, drama and musical theatre.
