Music

If your passion is making music, we want to help you hit the right note!

BU Music has a whole range of musical opportunities for students, staff and the local community.

The university already has a big reputation for musical excellence thanks to many ensembles that have been created through extra-curricular clubs, supported by the Students' Union at Bournemouth University (SUBU).

All interests and abilities are catered for and the groups are open to all students, staff and the wider community.

There are also choral, contemporary and chamber choirs, and a Big Band and Orchestra - so there's plenty to choose from.

Some experience and proficiency are required for the Orchestra, Big Band and Chamber Choir, but the other ensembles are open to all.
