Course details
This programme is contemporary in focus, teaching music that is relevant to today’s culture. It is a hands-on programme that prepares you for entry into the current music industry in Singapore and the region. Over three years, the programme is structured to provide experience in performing, honing the technique on your instrument or voice, and teaching the building blocks of music through the study of music theory, sight-reading, and aural training.
A unique aspect of our programme is the emphasis on performance communication: the ability as a musician to have ‘stage presence’— the look, attitude and ability to ‘work the audience’ are all crucial factors in becoming a successful performing musician. A typical week involves you rehearsing and performing in a number of different ensembles, receiving specialist lessons on your chosen instrument or voice; composing songs; learning about the history of music, and being mentored by some of the most experienced musicians and educators in the region. Springing from the roots of popular music in blues and jazz to rock, pop, electronic, and ‘indie’ music, the programme covers all the major styles through theory, history, and practice.
To prepare you for entry into the music industry, the syllabus and assessments are benchmarked with industry standards. Through a progressive structure of performance-based modules and assessments, you are taken through the building blocks of musicianship to become confident entertainment professionals.
