Teaching Structure

Teaching is organised by our Lecturer in Music, Hugh Collins-Rice. Tutorials are often arranged jointly with students at Oriel College. In addition, all undergraduates studying Music have lectures and some classes organised by the Faculty of Music, which is a short walk from Trinity.

Music at Oxford is amazing in itself, but combined with Trinity’s community, the blossoming Trinity College Music Society, and the willingness of anyone to get involved in projects, it makes the college be an fantastic place to learn.
