Music

Research shows that music can have a positive effect on our wellbeing, whether that is listening or singing to music or playing an instrument. Here at DMU we have a space called the Chantry which staff and students can book to practice music. Please read the information below carefully if you wish to do this.

Chantry bookings are available between 9-5 Monday to Friday during term time. 

Users can search MyGateway appointments for ‘Chantry Music Bookings’ to book a slot.  

A piano is currently available.

 

How to register for bookings and access

If wish to access The Chantry to practice music during the academic year 2022/23 please email healthyDMU@dmu.ac.uk from your staff or student email address. Please include your name and student p number in your email.

  • Staff will then amend your MyGateway record so that you can search for slots and make bookings
  • Please let us know whether or not you already have access to the Chantry building via your staff or student card. If you do not have building access let us know and we can request this for you.

We aim to action your request within 3 working days
