In newspaper articles circa 1939, my great aunt has the letters LLCM and ALCM after her name. I know she taught piano in Dublin. Do the letters signify a music degree or a level of proficiency?
Thanks

LLCM = Licentiate of the London College of Music
ALCM = Associate of the London College of Music
If you look on Wikipedia for example, it gives a bit of info about these two -

You're quite correct, they were post nominals awarded by The London College of Music and applied to both Music and also Speech & Drama. Within the last few years the LCM became part of Thames Valley University.
In order to achieve either of these awards it takes a great deal of time, effort and ability, so I would say that the lady in question would, most probably have been a very accomplished pianist. The qualifications are now regarded as being equivalent to around 2nd/3rd year of undergraduate study at university.
Hope this helps
