Music Society: Freshers' Representative

• In the past few weeks I’ve been loving Music soc and would love to have a more active role when it comes to organising events, sharing my ideas with the committee, and reaching out to help engage more members.
• I am a very sociable and approachable person, and am great at collaborating and compromising in a team
• I am very thorough with an attention to detail, and I like to think I have a lot of creative ideas to offer that enhance experiences
• I’m also very dedicated and organised; I do a fair bit of admin in my choirs and am happy to do some organisational labour since it pays off!
• I have been really enjoying the music family events so far, and have some ideas for future events I'd love to discuss with the team!
• I'm really eager to meet lots of members of music soc who I haven’t crossed paths with yet, and hopefully get lots more members involved in socials
• I also have banger playlists so if I get a say every event will have a perfect soundtrack 🤩

The fact that we do not have a music department here at UCL means that it is crucial to have a thriving extra-curricular musical scene. I want to push for music to be a more valued and integral part of the community as a whole, and work hard to make sure music society is the best it can possibly be.

Like many others, I feel music is my safe place, unifying individual expression with working together with other like-minded people which is brilliant for mental health and wellbeing; I am extremely passionate about the importance of music making. I am primarily a singer but also an instrumentalist, so am focused on all of the ensembles in the society. I'm currently in Symphony Chorus, Chamber Choir and UC8. 

My key aims:

• Gather feedback from music society members, particularly freshers, and report to the committee.
• Help organise musical and non-musical events.
• Music is for everyone, see increased number of minority students in music society.
• Endevour to increase funding for next year.
• Build connections with local venues for more performance opportunities for everyone.

I hope that I have demonstrated my commitment to the society well, and that you'll consider voting for me as 2023 music society freshers' representative. All the best, - Sam.
