My name is Holly, and I&#8217;m a 3rd-Year student at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/colleges\/vanbrugh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vanbrugh College<\/a>, reading for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/arts-creative-technologies\/study\/music-undergraduate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BA in Music<\/a> at the University of York.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this blog post, I\u2019ll talk to you a little about the thriving Musi<\/span>c<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> community here at York, both in the School and across the wider University.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019ll outline some of the opportunities that may be available to you during your time here. Plus, I&#8217;ll share some guidance on how to best throw yourself into being a musician at York!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>School of Arts and Creative Technologies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Music is within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/arts-creative-technologies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of Arts and Creative Technologies (ACT)<\/a>, alongside theatre, film, television, interactive and emerging media. This means that students from each subject can come together more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ensembles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A big part of York\u2019s musical community is our ensembles<\/span>. H<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ere are just a few examples of the groups you can get involved in<\/span>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Symphony and Chamber Orchestras<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">24 Choir <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chimera Ensemble<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Big Band 106<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Animas Choir<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Piano Ensemble<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gamelan Ensemble <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Being in an ensemble is not only a great way to enjoy music you love, but to try new things and meet people! <\/span>For<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> some ense<\/span>mbles, <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">you don&#8217;t even have to be a Music student to get involved.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way I contribute to the academic community is by chairing an undergraduate Musicology Forum, where we get to talk about our academic interests and debate them. There are also many other academic forums, like the Postgraduate Research group. There are already lots of groups and ensembles, but you can set up your own too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The social side<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a tight-knit School, we also host social events to encourage a supportive and collaborative musical community. One of which is the ACT Mixer that is happening very soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The ACT Mixer will bring together students who have interests in film and game music to network and chat about their interests over some coffee and a slice of cake. <\/span>The School of ACT is passionate about bringing students from different backgrounds together<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and finding common interests is a great way to do this.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">W<\/span>hen we<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> celebrated Chinese New Year<\/span>, <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">home and international students <\/span>could<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> bond over some music-making and drinks. <\/span>O<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ur School of ACT Winter Formal, \u2018A Night of Stars\u2019, was a great way to end the term<\/span>, bringing s<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tudents from across the School together in a more formal yet fun setting.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Music societies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Secretary of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uoymusicsociety.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Music Society<\/a>, I\u2019d love to tell you about the other ways musical communities are fostered across the University. The Music Society hosts lunchtime concerts in the Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall and Rymer Auditorium during term time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We also put on social events for MusicSoc members. A few highlights last term were our Winter Formal and Cosy Coffee social. Being in a society is a great way to meet people from all over the University, often studying many different subjects, and come together over a common interest.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are also many other Music societies, such as CHMS (Central Hall Music Society) who mainly perform music theatre works. They&#8217;re currently putting on a production of \u2018Sunshine on Leith\u2019 at the Joseph Rowntree Theatre. Jazz and Big Band, Concert Orchestra, and Brass Band are also other examples of ensembles external to the School, but some get to use the famous Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall as a space to rehearse!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Music community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Colleges also provide music-making spaces, such as the Derwent and Langwith Practice Rooms, and the Vanbrugh Studio. There are also many events and concerts in the wider city of York that are popular with students, and are great ways to see more of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall, the musical community at York is thriving, supportive and creative with a love of music over anything else! It doesn&#8217;t really matter how \u2018good\u2019 you are at music or performing, as there are so many groups, you will inevitably find one that caters to your needs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My biggest tip would be to get involved in as many things as you can. That way you can get the most out of your time here by meeting new people, trying new things, and performing music!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/category\/study\/music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Explore what it&#8217;s like to study Music at York.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
