About me
I’m Luke, a fourth-year philosophy (with music performance) student from Edinburgh. This year, I’m representing students involved in academic and extracurricular music through the Laidlaw Music Centre. In addition to studying the ontology of music, I play piano, organ, cello, a little bit of harpsichord and ukulele, I sing, and love to conduct from time to time. I’ve taken six music modules, been involved in five Gilbert & Sullivan productions, and have maintained multiple scholarships and board positions. I also work part-time at the Laidlaw Music Centre and Byre Theatre. Life as a student musician is busy, and when deadline/concert season hits, it can be quite overwhelming. If there’s anything in St Andrews’ music that you love or feel could be improved, from practice room bookings to coursework, please get in touch.
- Best moment at St Andrews so far?
- Randomly learning how to play the organ..or harpsichord..or conduct!
- Favourite place to study?
- The Byre Theatre! It's perfect for a chilled-out study session.
- What are you most excited about this year in the role?
- Working with students with a range of musical interests and hearing what the Music Centre can be doing to support you.
