Student profiles Hannah and Morgan Charleson

Twins, Hannah and Morgan Charleson, participated in our music summer schools last year and are now in their first year of the Bachelor of Education (Music) degree programme. The twins came into contact with RCS through the Widening Access to the Creative Industries initiative. This initiative is run by the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, on behalf of FOCUS West, and offers tailored support to S5 and S6 pupils.
