Our Campus
This is AUB. A place to shape and build your work; to learn, share, provoke and collaborate.
University Music is a joint AUB and BU department that offers a wide range of musical opportunities to students and staff of both universities. We have a concert band, three choirs, a string orchestra and various other ensembles, all of which rehearse weekly and give regular performances both on campus and in the local area. All students can join our ensembles free of charge.
University Music recognises the role that music and culture play in the development of the individual and the benefits cultural activities bring to the wider University community.
Individual tuition
With our team of well-qualified, friendly tutors is available, in person or via Zoom, on all instruments and voice. Theory tuition for grades 5 to 8 and diploma level is also available. Lessons cost £33 (1 hour), £24.75 (45 minutes) or £16.50 (30 minutes) and can be taken weekly or fortnightly. Fees will be payable directly to the tutors, who will provide more details of their payment system. Please see below for details of music scholarships.

Our tutors:
“I’ve sung in Chamber Choirs since about year seven, and I considered pursuing music after my school studies. I’m currently working with musician and tutor Jonathan Prentice and my lessons are fully funded by the university – it’s made such a difference to me in the past few months.”
University Choir is a large-scale Choral Society, which is open to students and staff of AUB and BU and to members of the local community. There are no auditions and all are very welcome.
