Royal Military School of Music The Royal Military School of Music ( RMSM ) in Twickenham , west London , trains musicians for the British Army ' s twenty - nine bands . It is part of the Corps of Army Music . The school is based at Kneller Hall , which was the country house of the court painter Sir Godfrey Kneller and was rebuilt after a fire in 1848 . History . The RMSM was established in 1857 at the instigation of Prince George , Duke of Cambridge , Queen Victoria ' s cousin and the commander - in - chief of the army . In 1854 , during the Crimean War , he had attended a parade in Scutari , in Turkey , to celebrate the Queen ' s birthday . During the parade the approximately twenty British Army bands on parade were required to combine in a performance of the national anthem . The custom , at this time , was for regiments to hire civilian bandmasters for their bands , each of whom had free rein in both the instrumentation of the band and the arrangements it played . With each band playing " God Save the Queen " simultaneously in different instrumentations , pitch , arrangement , and key signature s , the result was an embarrassing and humiliating cacophony . The Duke decided that there should be some standardisation in army music and so formed the RMSM , with Henry Schallehn ( who also became the first director of music at the Crystal Palace ) as commandant . For many years the commandant was Colonel T . B . Shaw - Hellier , owner of the Hellier Stradivarius . Present day . The school is open to men and women , and the commitment to the army is for a minimum of four years . The Corps of Army Music is the largest employer of musicians in the United Kingdom , and it promotes itself to potential recruits as an opportunity to earn a salary as a musician , something which can be hard to do . The music taught and performed is not restricted to martial music , but also includes jazz , swing , middle - of - the - road , popular , baroque , mainstream symphonic and operatic music . Royal Military School of Music Museum . The Royal Military School of Music Museum at Kneller Hall has a collection of musical instruments , music , documents , prints , manuscripts , paintings and uniforms showing the history of military music ; it is open to the public by appointment .
