About me

The Royal Institute of Music Studies (RIMS) addresses the gap for many Christian musicians, both instrumentalists and vocalists, who possess the ability to perform music but lack formal training. To bridge this gap, RIMS has designed a comprehensive program to help these individuals acquire formal music training. Our cutting-edge courses are structured to develop students’ skills and talents, preparing them to become professional musicians.

The guiding philosophy of RIMS is to promote excellence and to seek and apply musical knowledge through education. This program is primarily informed by theoretical understanding and knowledge generation in music. It aims to transform candidates into professional musicians, equipping them to assume leadership roles in church and the music industry. The Royal Institute of Music Studies (RIMS) is dedicated to this philosophy, offering a world-class music program designed to train highly skilled and globally employable musicians and music educators.

Rationale of RIMS: RIMS is committed to preparing musicians and music teachers to excel in the music industry. Contemporary trends and demands in music careers necessitate an expanded knowledge base in the music curriculum. In response, our program seeks to train and equip students with the necessary skills to pursue careers in the music industry as music directors, church organists, composers, music technicians, studio managers, music broadcasters, music producers, orchestrators, arrangers, music librarians, and film scorers.
