As one of the leading centres for the study of music in Britain, Durham's Music Department have an international reputation for the quality of their teaching. The department attracts talented and highly motivated students from all over the UK and abroad, who make up a friendly and vibrant undergraduate community. Students engage in a wide variety of practical music-making both in their degree course and outside, in ensembles ranging from orchestras, chamber groups and choirs to Javanese gamelan and Korean percussion groups. Music at Durham covers everything from the music of the great composers to contemporary music and Indian ragas, studied from the perspectives of history, theory, aesthetics and ethnography as well as through composition and performance. The Sutton Trust Summer School will also give students the chance to network with current lecturers in the Department.
