lege. The degree In music be seeks requires three years of study. Mr Rawstron attended Christ’s College from 1964 to 1967, after being at Cathedral Grammar School. He was a Cathedral chorister. He was assistant organist at Christchurch Cathedral and at Christ’s College, and leader of the viola section of the New Zealand secondary schools’ orchestra. Mr Rawstron sat three papers for the scholarship— English essays, French translation, and the history of music, and musical harmony and counterpoint.
He will leave Christchurch for Oxford next October. He is a licentiate in piano and organ of Trinity College, London.
