Why choose Music at Bristol?

Rachel Sutton
"The best thing about the Music Department is the community feeling... Students are strongly encouraged to perform, steward or listen to as much as they can and there are many extra-curricular opportunities you can get involved in. "
- Rachel Sutton, BA Music

Emma Hornby
"The Music Department has a great family atmosphere, partly because we're quite small, so we actually do know all our students by name. When you're a musician, it's your vocation; it's completely bound up with your identity. We're lucky as a department because almost all our students share that vocation, and that passion for music."
- Emma Hornby, Senior Lecturer in Music
