Oxford may ditch sheet music because it's 'colonialist' NEWS

The University of Oxford is reportedly considering removing sheet music from its music curriculum as part of sweeping changes intended to "decolonize" the program.

Professors within the university's music department branded musical notation as a "colonialist representational system" amid a revamp of their musical education offerings, the Telegraph reported on Saturday.

The notation, which has not "shaken off its connection to its colonial past" would be a "slap in the face" for some students of color, professors stated in proposal for change documents obtained by the news outlet.
