Taster Days for Year 11 & Year 12 Students

We will be holding an in-person Music Taster Days on Saturday 21 March 2026 and Friday 3 July 2026, from 11.00am-4.00pm (registration from 10:30am). These free event are aimed at students in Year 11 and Year 12 from state-sector schools who want to find out more about studying music at University. 

Our Taster Days are designed to offer a taste of life as a Music student at the University of Cambridge. Participants will experience some of the teaching methods used by university academics and gain an insight into just some of the huge range of skills, approaches, and topics that the study of music at University encompasses.

The aim is not only to expand students' knowledge and understanding of various aspects of music and musicology, but also to encourage them to develop their critical thinking skills, all in a friendly and supportive environment.

The event will finish with a talk and Q&A on Studying Music at Cambridge, with a panel of current staff and students.
