Music, Mischief and Morals in the C18 - BBC4 programme

quite so

[french frank]

Most undergraduate music degrees offer topics and options which allow students to avoid much study of European classical music. So the mere possession of any sort of post-school training doesn't necessarily imply a great deal (if any) knowledge of the Western classical traditions. At Oxford (and I would assume at most universities now) topics will include 'pop' music, film music, jazz, ethnomusicology &c. &c. - anything that staff want to offer, as well as the performance and composition options. The key point is where students' interest lies.

Oxford appears to me to be a lot more conservative in its music degree syllabus than some other universities. See http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/under...-listing/music

I think the idea was to increase the street cred rather than impress Radio 3 listeners. However, the target audience for Radio 1 is 15-29, so at 39 she is 'supposed' to have graduated to Stuart Maconie on 6 Music.

How many of the R1 target audience read the Telegraph (apart from the Young Conservatives)?
