Hey beautiful people, please support me to study for my Masters in music so I can contribute more to the community.

Bay of Plenty

Hello everyone,

I received an offer to study for my Masters in Music at the University of Southampton in the UK and I need help to pay the tuition costs. As an international student the tuition fees are £26,500, which is horrendously huge!!

Despite that, I am so motivated to do this and I really believe this is an important step to take. I have witnessed the power of music for healing, well-being, and mental health. After my husband's suicide, music propelled me to undertake projects that helped both myself and others heal from trauma and the difficult journey of life. (You can hear some of my story in the attached video.)

I am passionate to continue to enhance my skills in order to inspire people of all ages to access this power. I am committed to giving back to the community and using my abilities to make a positive impact on society. By earning a Master's degree, I will not only enhance my own artistic capabilities but will also acquire the tools and knowledge necessary to contribute to the advancement of community connection and improved mental health through music.

I have chosen the University of Southampton because of its prestigious reputation as a research-led institution with top-notch faculty and state-of-the-art facilities, allowing me to hone my skills and gain valuable connections and hands-on experience.

I so appreciate your support, no matter how big or small.

With love from Emily

Thank you so much, Milena! The degree is in composition. I applied and was accepted for the performance and music teaching pathways but of course had to make a choice, so I chose the one in which I could be most creative, because I love to create! I'd love to hear about your master's degrees! I'll send you a message. xx
