‘Creative captions are like having subtitles in real life. They help D/deaf audiences to understand things they might miss that a hearing audience would hear… Our show would be nowhere near as good without them - they make it.’

Our students talk you through the process of using creative captions, working on non-verbal sound effects and how they bring them to life in their puppetry show 'Spawn!'🕹️

‘Mae capsiynau creadigol fel cael is-deitlau bywyd go iawn. Maent yn helpu cynulleidfaoedd B/byddar i ddeall pethau y gallent o bosibl eu colli ond y byddai cynulleidfa sy’n clywed yn eu deall… Ni fyddai ein sioe hanner cystal hebddynt – nhw sy’n gwneud y sioe.’

Mae ein myfyrwyr yn mynd â chi drwy'r broses o ddefnyddio capsiynau creadigol, gweithio ar effeithiau sain di-eiriau a sut maent yn dod â hwy’n fyw yn eu sioe bypedau 'Spawn!'🕹️

Rachel graduated from RWCMD in 2023 with an MMus Piano.

‘The Royal Welsh College has prepared me not just technically, but also collaboratively. It’s instilled in me the value of open-mindedness, flexibility, and the ability to inspire others through music. The training is not just classical but it appreciates all types of music. Nowadays, being a musician isn’t just about having amazing technical skills, but also about how you get on with others. And it's important to be able to transmit your technique into inspiration so that others can be inspired by you.

It's about self-belief, believing in yourself and where you want to go with your instrument, and being as involved in as many different things as possible, because you never know what opportunities that will bring for you in the future.’

Graddiodd Rachel Starritt o CBCDC yn 2023 gyda MMus Piano.

‘Mae Coleg Brenhinol Cerdd a Drama Cymru wedi fy mharatoi i’n dechnegol ac ar y cyd hefyd. Mae wedi gwneud i mi werthfawrogi meddwl yn agored, bod yn hyblyg a’r gallu i ysbrydoli pobl eraill drwy gerddoriaeth. Mae’r hyfforddiant yn glasurol ond mae hefyd yn gwerthfawrogi pob math o gerddoriaeth. Yn yr oes sydd ohoni, mae bod yn gerddor yn golygu mwy na dim ond meddu ar sgiliau technegol anhygoel, mae sut rydych chi’n cyd-dynnu ag eraill yn bwysig hefyd. Ac mae’n bwysig gallu trosglwyddo eich techneg i fod yn ysbrydoliaeth er mwyn i bobl eraill gael eu hysbrydoli gennych chi.

Mae’n ymwneud â hunan-gred, credu ynoch chi’ch hun a ble rydych chi eisiau mynd gyda’ch offeryn, a bod mor gysylltiedig â chymaint o bethau gwahanol â phosibl, oherwydd dydych chi byth yn gwybod pa gyfleoedd fydd yn dod i’ch rhan yn y dyfodol.’

Guitarist, Jonathan graduated from RWCMD in 2015 with a BMus Hons Music.

‘From the moment I set foot in the building, I knew it was something special. The audition panel's genuine interest in me, both as an individual and a musician, created a welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for my entire learning experience. The course gave me quality time with my instrument, allowing me to explore all its expressive capacities.

Collaboration is central to a musician's life, whether working with composers, sound engineers, dancers, or multi-instrumentalists. The emphasis on collaboration at the Royal Welsh College has been instrumental in moving forward in my musical journey. Meeting and working alongside fantastic musicians, actors, stage managers and theatre designers created an inspiring atmosphere to study in.

The performing opportunities at College were a highlight of my time there. Performing in the Anthony Hopkins Centre and as well in the Dora Stoutzker Hall and having these amazing performing experiences is one of my favourite memories.

Since graduating from the Royal Welsh College, I moved to London for my postgrad before moving to Valencia, Spain where, ten years after graduating, I am now proud to be a professor at their conservatoire.’

Gitarydd, graddiodd Jonathan o yn 2015 gyda BMus Anrh Cerddoriaeth.

‘O’r eiliad y cyrhaeddais i’r adeilad, roeddwn i’n gwybod fod rhywbeth arbennig yma. Roedd diddordeb gwirioneddol y panel clyweliadau ynof i, fel unigolyn ac fel cerddor, yn creu awyrgylch croesawgar a oedd yn gosod y naws ar gyfer fy mhrofiad dysgu drwyddo draw. Rhoddodd y cwrs amser gwerthfawr i mi gyda’m hofferyn, gan fy ngalluogi i archwilio ei holl alluoedd mynegiannol.

Mae cydweithio yn ganolog i fywyd cerddor, boed yn gweithio gyda chyfansoddwyr, peirianwyr sain, dawnswyr neu aml-offerynwyr. Mae’r pwyslais ar gydweithio yng Ngholeg Brenhinol Cymru wedi bod yn allweddol wrth symud ymlaen ar fy nhaith gerddorol. Roedd cwrdd a gweithio ochr yn ochr â cherddorion, actorion, rheolwyr llwyfan a dylunwyr theatr gwych yn creu awyrgylch ysbrydoledig i astudio ynddo.

Roedd y cyfleoedd perfformio yn y Coleg yn uchafbwynt yn fy amser yno. Mae perfformio yng Nghanolfan Anthony Hopkins a hefyd yn Neuadd Dora Stoutzker a chael y profiadau perfformio anhygoel hyn yn un o fy hoff atgofion.

Ers graddio o Goleg Brenhinol Cymru, symudais i Lundain ar gyfer fy ngradd ôl-raddedig cyn symud i Valencia, Sbaen lle, ddeng mlynedd ar ôl graddio, rwyf bellach yn falch o fod yn athro yn eu conservatoire.’

Tenor/Bass Trombonist, Anna-Louise Loy graduated from RWCMD in 2023 with Bmus Brass.

'The atmosphere at the College is incredibly welcoming, I really feel I can be myself without being judged by anyone. My training here has been instrumental in my career journey so far. Graduating last year, I now work as a learning project coordinator with the Liverpool Philharmonic Youth Company, overseeing the very orchestra I played in as a young musician, and working with young people of all ages. It's really rewarding to be a part of that crucial work, and to follow their progress.

My time at the Royal Welsh College gave me the essential skills, from ensemble playing to effective time management, that I use every day in my new role.'

‘Mae’r awyrgylch yn y Coleg yn groesawgar iawn. Dwi’n teimlo fy mod i’n gallu bod yn fi fy hun heb i neb fy marnu. Mae fy hyfforddiant yma wedi bod yn allweddol i fy ngyrfa hyd yn hyn. Fe wnes i raddio’r llynedd a dwi nawr yn gweithio fel cydlynydd prosiectau dysgu gyda Chwmni Ieuenctid Ffilharmonig Lerpwl, yn goruchwylio’r union gerddorfa roeddwn i’n aelod ohoni pan oeddwn i’n gerddor ifanc, ac yn gweithio gyda phobl ifanc o bob oed. Mae bod yn rhan o’r gwaith hollbwysig hwnnw, a dilyn eu datblygiad, yn werthfawr iawn.

Yn sgil fy nghyfnod yng Ngholeg Brenhinol Cerdd a Drama Cymru, mae gen i’r sgiliau hanfodol dwi’n eu defnyddio bob dydd yn fy swydd newydd, o chwarae mewn ensemble i reoli amser yn effeithiol.’

It starts here… it starts at

Musician, composer, arranger and conductor, former student Patrick Rimes is now teaching in the Strings department at RWCMD.

‘I really enjoy teaching here at the College because the students are so naturally curious and eager to absorb knowledge. What's remarkable is that each of them already possesses a strong musical identity. When I was their age, the hybrid path I envisioned, blending classical and non-classical music, wasn't readily available, but I now have what might be called a classic portfolio career. My goal at RWCMD is to help students explore their own unique musical identities and nurture their relationship with music.’

Mae’n dechrau yma... mae’n dechrau yn

Cerddor, cyfansoddwr, trefnydd ac arweinydd, mae’r cyn-fyfyriwr Patrick Rimes bellach yn addysgu’r adran Llinynnau yn CBCDC.

‘Dwi wir yn mwynhau addysgu yma yn y Coleg gan fod y myfyrwyr mor naturiol chwilfrydig ac yn awyddus i amsugno gwybodaeth. Yr hyn sy’n rhyfeddol yw bod gan bob un ohonynt hunaniaeth gerddorol gref yn barod. Pan oeddwn i’n iau, doedd y llwybr hybrid roeddwn i’n ei ragweld, sef cyfuno cerddoriaeth glasurol a cherddoriaeth nad yw’n glasurol, ddim ar gael yn rhwydd, ond nawr mae gen i’r hyn a allai gael ei alw’n yrfa bortffolio nodweddiadol. Fy nod yng Ngholeg Brenhinol Cerdd a Drama Cymru yw helpu myfyrwyr i archwilio eu hunaniaeth gerddorol unigryw eu hunain a meithrin eu perthynas â cherddoriaeth.’
