Boost Your Teaching Toolkit!
This September is the perfect moment to refresh how you teach and inspire.
Over the past year, we’ve introduced a range of exciting developments, from the launch of Stageschool and unveiling the new RiFF interactive sheet music tool, to refreshed syllabuses and expanded Vocational Qualifications. Now we’re shining the spotlight back on them, helping you make the most of these resources in the year ahead.
Whether you’re an independent tutor, the head of a performing arts school, or leading vocational courses in college, RSL provides qualifications and resources that empower your teaching and energise your students’ learning, all while keeping every lesson engaging, relevant, and future-ready.
Graded Music Teachers
Give your graded music teaching a lift this September with our RSL Graded Music Exams. From guitar to piano and classical violin, our syllabuses support clear progression and keep students motivated. Additionally, with enhanced online tools like the new RiFF platform, you can access teaching materials, interactive resources, and downloads to make lessons more engaging and effective.
Performing Arts Teachers
Performing Arts has levelled up. This year, explore Stageschool, the new hub for performing arts teachers and students. Alongside the exciting Street & Commercial Dance qualifications, you’ll also find a home for your trusted favourites plus the new Performance Awards, celebrating creativity and achievement for individuals, duos, and groups with Bronze, Silver, and Gold recognition.
Vocational Qualifications
RSL’s Vocational Qualifications offer schools, colleges, and training providers industry-relevant pathways into the Creative Industries. New this year are the Project Qualifications: the Extended Project Qualification (Level 3) with UCAS value, the Higher Project Qualification (Level 2), and the Foundation Project Qualification (Level 1), enabling learners to develop projects in a subject they love.
