📣 Meet AS1 Starling, the first RAF Music bursary student 📣

While studying for a music degree at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, AS1 Starling joined the Band of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force as a Reservist, and signed up to the RAF Music Bursary Scheme which helped to fund the final years of her degree 🤩

🎓Now, having graduated, she has transitioned into a full-time career with RAF Music becoming the first bursary student to successfully make the move from RAF Reserves to the Regulars.

🎶 Could you be next? If you're studying at a university or conservatoire and considering a career in music, the RAF Music Bursary Scheme could provide funding, experience and a direct route into life as an RAF musician!

🎶 Back where it all began, AS1 Savage returns to Edinburgh bringing her RAF Music career full circle!

🎓 This August marks 10 years since I began my degree at The University of Edinburgh, and 5 years since my graduation ceremony which took place in Edinburgh Castle.

During my time in Edinburgh, I joined the City of Edinburgh UOTC where I undertook Reserve Officer Cadet Training and became a member of their band. I played the bugle for the Remembrance Sunday Service held in the Old College, and also learnt to play the tenor drum. I attended Basel Tattoo and performed on stage in Aberdeen with Lewis Capaldi for BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
These experiences certainly shaped my decision to pursue a career in the Armed Forces and showed me what life as a musician could offer.

Now, 10 years on, it feels especially significant to be returning to Edinburgh performing in The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo with RAF Music, as I proudly reflect on the journey that began there 🤩
