We will be holding an in-person Music Taster Day on Saturday 29 March 2025, from 10.30am-1.30pm (registration from 10:00am). This free event is aimed at students in Year 11 and Year 12 from non-fee-paying schools and colleges who want to find out more about studying music at University. We will be holding a second Taster Day in July 2025 (date to be confirmed shortly).
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.
Please note that this event is only open only to students from state maintained schools and colleges. Please see the Subject Masterclasses page for information about our events open to students from all schools.
