About the Department of Music

The Department of Music, part of the University's exciting Lakeside Arts Centre, is committed to offering a high standard of teaching within a research-led university.

Music courses at Nottingham

Our courses cover a wide range of topics, including all periods of western classical music, jazz, popular music, film music, composition, and performance. Teaching takes the form of lectures, seminar classes, and individual consultative tutorials.

Our courses develop key critical and analytical skills in the study of music as a vibrant form of social and cultural practice, and offer the opportunity to focus on specific topics within the subject, for example: performance, historical musicology, analysis and composition.
