Royal Corps of Army Music

[1] The Queen signed a warrant on 13 August 1994 to allow the formation of the Corps of Army Music.

[2] The home of the corps was established at Kneller Hall in Twickenham, a site that already encompassed the Royal Military School of Music.

The school was founded by the Duke of Cambridge, soon after his appointment as Commander in Chief in 1857, when the first class of military musicians was formed, a 'Class of Music'.

The establishment was retitled as The Royal Military School of Music by Queen Victoria in 1887.

[8] In September 2021, the Corps Headquarters moved to Gibraltar Barracks in Minley, whilst the Royal Military School of Music moved to HMS Nelson alongside the Royal Marines School of Music.
