      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.
      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

            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

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