You may join online: Online registration form

Once you have joined and get your Bexley user number, please contact Frank Trew (frank.trew@bruford.ac.uk) with your details (Bexley often hold the accounts until some ID is seen, but we can circumvent that for you if you let us know your account number and details).

This link will take you to Oxford Music Online http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/

If you have any difficulties please contact Frank in the Learning Resource Centre.

(Please note that you can no longer access this resource via Athens - we are trying to update all our materials to reflect this, but for now, please accept our apologies ignore any reference to access to Grove via Athens,  and follow the guidance above).
