Tutorials in Musicology

THERE ARE NUMEROUS MUSICAL ENSEMBLES at Oxford, many of exceptionally high standard, but instruction in performance is not offered as part of the University's academic course. Musicians are advised to bring their instruments with them. Wycliffe Hall has a piano and organ which may be used for practice (subject to their use for other Hall events).

Access to practice space is not guaranteed. SCIO will try to help students of large instruments (harp, double bass etc) to hire or borrow instruments, and to help all students find practice space, but cannot guarantee to do so. It is intended that musicians use their time at Oxford primarily as a time to further their studies in the intellectual rather than practical side of music.  However the SCIO staff includes an ex professional ‘cellist and two keen amateur musicians who will do their best to help musicians.
