'I really enjoyed my time at the QE Music department. The music teachers are very friendly and welcoming, and know a great deal about their subject. I went on to study music performance as a BA and then Master's. QE really helped me with my performing and there were always spaces available for me to practice my instrument (drum kit). The course also taught me musical knowledge such as composing, harmony, analysis and history. This has all come in useful as I am now a professional musician and teacher myself. I also really enjoyed performing in the ensembles such as the Big Band and Choir, who performed regular concerts. I would recommend anyone who wishes to improve their musical knowledge to take this course. This department has a really fun and open environment, which is perfect as I believe music to be a very social subject.'
