RSL (Rockschool Ltd.)
RSL (Rockschool Ltd) are a global contemporary awarding body based in Teddington, London. RSL focus on providing contemporary music, vocational and performance arts qualifications to teachers and students in over 40 countries worldwide. RSL was founded in 1991 under the name ‘Rockschool’ by Simon Pitt and Norton York who launched the first ever popular music guitar, bass and drums exams in 1992.

History
In 1991, Norton York and his playing partner Simon Pitt identified the need for rock and pop musicians to be offered the same access to qualifications as classical musicians. Therefore, in 1992 RSL (then Rockschool) launched the first ever graded music exam syllabus for rock and pop musicians in electric guitar, bass and drums. These qualifications contained the same grading structure and academic rigour as their classical counterparts whilst catering for musicians who weren’t inspired by classical grades. Rockschool then further expanded their graded syllabi to include Piano in 2000 and Vocals in 2002, whilst creating vocational courses in 2005 and higher level diplomas in 2007 as well as Musical Theatre grades in 2010. RSL now operates in over 40 countries and examines over 50,000 musicians and performers every year. Rockschool’s Expansion and merger to ‘RSL’ In 2015, Rockschool created the parent company ‘RSL’ to become the public face of their entire portfolio of expanding qualifications (not just graded music exams). ‘RSL’ is the acronym for ‘Rockschool Ltd’ the public trading name of the company. Rockschool now operates under the parent company, RSL who offer Rockschool Graded Music Exams, Vocational qualifications and Performance Arts qualifications.
