Music
Short courses for the public
Music can be studied from a wide variety of perspectives: by reading, listening, performing and composing; by studying composers and musical forms; by exploring the music of the past and the present, and the music of other countries; and by investigating the relationships between the various parts of a composition.
Our music weekly classes are ten weeks in duration and take place in Oxford on a weekday evening or during the day. We also offer day schools in music as well as an online course.
Some music courses can be studied for credit which means they can count towards a recognised qualification.
