Area of study

About

me

I am called Chuyun Hu. I am a graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music with two higher education degrees. Sponsored by Erasmus+ Exchange Programme, I also studied at the Royal Irish Academy of Music from January to April 2021, and one year later, I was offered a place on another programme of theirs, Professional Mentorship. The year of 2022 also saw me gain the offer to the Summer Academy and Festival hosted by International Holland Music Sessions in August. 

 

Throughout my studies, I did research in the fields of film music, ethnomusicology, and Baroque Dance with passion. In February 2020 I gave a presentation as part of a project created by the Royal Northern College of Music to celebrate various music cultures, and the substance of my talk was the aesthetics of classical Chinese instrumental music and the music theory of this genre. 

 

Alongside academic research, I have given 3 public concerts that won all members of the audience's approval - at St. Ann's Church in November 2016, at Cross Street Chapel in October 2018, at the Edge Theatre and Arts Centre during the Chorlton Arts Festival in May 2022. I received 

distinction on chamber music from the Royal Irish Academy of Music, and our performance was streamed live in the academy's Chamber Music Festival in April 2021. Besides, I performed classical music for the Virgin Money Branch that used to be located on King's Street in Manchester, as part of their promotion during the 'King's Street Festival' in the summer of 2018. 

 

Besides formal education, I enjoy learning English through materials devised by native language experts and also through YouTube.
