This project aims to broaden opportunities for students to engage with and learn about music through departments at Worcester University. It will represent the student voice in developing music teaching and provision. Current music activities include modules, choirs, campus shows and festivals, and student societies. A Facebook page and website provide information. The Pear Tree pub and Hive building offer potential new music venues. While students want more music, many are unaware of current offerings. The conclusion calls for utilizing existing resources like the Hive to expand the creative buzz of music on campus.
