The Choristers' Prayer
Bless, O Lord, us your servants who minister in your temple.
Grant that what we sing with our lips, we may believe in our hearts,
and what we believe in our hearts, we may show forth in our lives;
through Jesus Christ our Lord; Amen.

Welcome to the website of RSCM Australia. We are a national ecumenical organisation whose members are church choirs, individual choristers and other musicians, clergy, and those who support the Aims and Objectives listed below. RSCM Australia is part of the worldwide network of the Royal School of Church Music, and we have particularly close links and co-operation with our colleagues in RSCM New Zealand.
Most activities of RSCM Australia through the year are supported and organised by the local branches. The main national event is the annual Summer School, which takes place in early January each year at a different venue in Australia or New Zealand.
Click on the links above for more information about RSCM Australia, and contact your local branch membership secretary for information about membership - or come along to the next summer school and join in. You will be made very welcome.
The Aims and Objectives of RSCM Australia are:
- to promote the study, worthy practice and improvement of music in Christian worship in Australia;
- to facilitate communication between church musicians of all Christian denominations in Australia;
- to encourage the composition and publication of church music in Australia;
- to conduct educational activities in keeping with the above aims;
