There is a considerable programme of Organ Scholarships (as well as Choral Scholarships and a variety of music scholarships and bursaries) at the different colleges which make up the University of Oxford. Jesus College, Oxford is working with the Royal College of Organists, music teachers and church musicians to help communicate that it is more than possible for anyone to take up the organ (they really don’t need to be at schools boasting their own organ or their own organ teacher!), and to convey the many opportunities that learning the organ can bring. 

Jesus College wants to enthuse young musicians and broaden their aspirations, to learn about a great instrument, to find one nearby, to find a teacher nearby, and to access a great musical tradition. They are welcoming students of all ages 11+ to come along, and will be catering for both youngsters and sixth-formers; all teachers are also very welcome to attend, to find out more.

 

 Admission is free of charge (with sponsorship offered especially from Jesus College, New College, and Exeter College; we are inviting donations from anyone who wishes to attend or who wishes to sponsor a further place or two for prospective organists from low-income backgrounds).
