LCM looks to a digital future with Roland Cloud partnership

12 April 2022

Creative students across UWL’s iconic London College of Music (LCM) can now benefit from access to even more facilities and creative technologies thanks to a partnership with Roland.

Electronic instrument manufacturer, Roland has partnered with the University to offer students across all music, music technology, and music production courses the opportunity to use cloud-based versions of iconic Roland instruments.

The move will see Roland Cloud – the manufacturer’s software instrument service – integrated across LCM teaching platforms and computers, giving students access to a suite of instruments for teaching and learning.

LCM is the latest educational institution to join the service, which is already benefitting schools everywhere through easily accessible digital facilities.

Sara Raybould, Senior Pro Vice-Chancellor for Student Experience at UWL, said:

Roland Cloud is another way in which partnerships with leading industry figures are having a direct benefit to students as they build their careers.

The music industry is becoming increasingly digital, and access to Roland Cloud will benefit all areas of music creation and production. It’s an excellent opportunity for our students to try out a different way of working while expanding their knowledge and skills in an accessible way.

Roland Cloud is an innovative platform offering something completely different. We are excited to see where this collaboration will lead for everyone studying at the London College of Music.”

Jared Selter, Roland Director of Education Programs, said of the partnership:

Roland is extremely proud to partner with UWL and LCM by offering access to our legendary suite of creative tools, via Roland Cloud.

It is Roland’s mission to seed the next generation of creatives with classic instruments and sounds while encouraging students’ potential to forge their sonic paths and careers.

We are honoured to be included in the London College of Music’s diverse music technology curriculum and look forward to supporting LCM’s students, faculty, and staff with this collaboration.”
