Music excellence
UEA Music Centre awards a number of Music Centre Awards every year, to new and current students who show exceptional musical achievement and commitment.
The awards are for musicians of any instrument or voice and any style or tradition – including different national traditions. They are intended to encourage recipients to develop their musical and leadership skills and contribute significantly to music at UEA. A high standard of performance is expected, but equally important is a clear commitment to take leading roles in the musical life of the University.
Application is after entry to UEA, generally the second week of the autumn semester.
Each award is worth £800, paid in two equal instalments in November and February directly into the recipient's nominated bank account.
Where the Director of Music believes that an applicant demonstrates clear potential but has not yet reached the standard required for a full award, a smaller developmental award may be offered to support their progress towards a main award in a future year.
The holder is expected to use this money to develop their musical skills and to devote at least part of it to taking lessons for their instrument or voice.
Requirements
No qualifications need to have been taken. A high standard of performance can be demonstrated at audition. In the case of a musician performing in a style or tradition without a formal method of assessment this is particularly important. For those used to the graded exam system it may be useful to say that a performing standard of Grade 8 and above is a benchmark. Neither Grade 8 nor any other exam need either have been taken or passed.
The application process has two main parts:
You will need to submit either an online application form or a hard copy application form and provide details about your current and previous musical activities. We will ask you to outline your life so far as a musician, to tell us about some of your most exciting musical experiences and impressive musical achievements. We will ask you to think about how you might continue your musical activities at UEA (e.g. what from your research about the university has particularly caught your eye, what in your current musical life would you like to bring with you). We will also ask what you think are the special qualities that would make you a good award holder (e.g. your excellent leadership skills perhaps, or your ability to listen and find solutions to problems) and we will ask for examples of projects and work you have already done which show your special qualities. Please note that your commitment to contribute to musical life, and ability to be specific about how you intend to do this, will be extremely important in our decision making. Applications for the 2027 Music Centre Awards are now open and will close at 11am on Thursday 30 September 2027.
If your application is successful, you will be invited to audition with the Director of Music and Director of Choirs. During the audition, you will be asked to perform three contrasting items with a maximum combined duration of 10 minutes:
- Two performances should be pieces that best demonstrate your musical strengths and may be accompanied or unaccompanied.
- The third should be a short unaccompanied study or folk song.
