Please address each of the following five questions in separate, numbered paragraphs in your personal statement. This will help us understand why you want to take this course, and what you hope to gain from doing so.
- Why are you applying to this MMus programme in Performance?
- What sort of repertoire do you usually perform, and how does this music suit your style and approach to performance (please include a detailed list of works performed in the last year)?
- How do you usually go about learning a new work, and how often do you learn new repertoire?
- Do you have any specific thoughts on what you might want to play for your various recitals, including the main recital and for the concerto/song-cycle/extended work module?
- Have you provided everything that is needed as part of your application, including a fully referenced piece of suitable written work and, if you are not based in the UK, a link to a website containing a recording of you performing (we cannot process your application without these things)?
