RUMS Music Society is a fun and inclusive space to nurture and showcase the musical talent within RUMS. We take a relaxed approach to playing all kinds of music, welcoming all abilities from beginner to professional. We run multiple music groups, volunteering and outreach events, and hold concerts where groups and soloists alike can exhibit their musical skills. So whatever you play, however well you sing, come and have a go! Even if you do not fall into any of our existing groups, do reach out and we can see what we can do!

COMING SOON - RUMS Music Bands!
- This year, with enough interest, we hope to pilot a Bands programme where students interested in playing in a band can attend mixers/socials, forming their own bands with those wanting to play similar genres to them. \we hope to have a wide range of instruments/vocalists and music genres, from jazz and soul to rock and pop, so hopefully everyone can find thier niche!
