any good advises?

u r an stpm leaver?

lolz, whats ur interest? music? haha!

eh, i know how to talk only leh...


me domino's kaki

Sure, but i lazy to type, better if you ask me what you want to know, I will answer accordingly

I'm from stpm. Now studying music at UPSI. You have 2 options here :

1) Music in perfomance.
2) Music in education.

I go for education to be a bit secure in terms of job.

Whether UPM or UPSI, I don't think it's quite a big deal.

Justin Lim who lectures at UPSI has a Bachelor's in Music from UPM. He's a keyboard, guitarist and usually you can catch him playing at local jazz clubs. Ken Hor, a music producer, composer (he wrote the very successful Mamak performance a year ago - he's also earned some accolades overseas) also graduated from UPM.

The thing with UPSI is that it's expensive compared to UPM. Apart from that, I do not see any noticeable difference in the quality of the graduates. Basically I think it boils down to the individual.

(Of course lah, UPSI seems to have more professional folks you can see in the jazz clubs / festivals. James Boyle Jr. who has played at local jazz festivals - Penang Island Jazz fest and Jarasum Jazz in Korea also lectures at UPSI....)

Cheers!

yup.. music..



well.. i always wonder wat it is like studying music in U.. does it involve many practice session or paper work more? will they like have many performance chances?

Just to let u know, i graduate there but not in Music Degree hehe, but i do hang out there a lot at Culture Centre UM, reason is because lack of guitar player there, most of the students take keyboards/piano and violin, few percussions, but as i recall during my time there nobody take guitar, so what reason i do there? Many times the Culture Centre band (consist of music instructor) got shows to perform (RTM, Opening for orchestra, and lots more), they ask me to play with them, just to fill in the slot for 2nd guitarist, sure i go plus i got paid , futhermore they all pro one, i can curi skill.

What I can say is, i see music student practices alot in studio, alone, and many times i see practice piano/violin, reading notes i believe, they have like an orchestra performance for lecturer to evaluate. The facility is quite decent.

I have no idea about paper work and writing examinations though hehe

sounds fascinating.
but i do wonder how the auditions will be like
when i say auditions, i mean the interview before entering.
as far as i know, i think a student is required to prepare 2 pieces.
students are also required to be prepared for the aural test and sight reading.
is there anyone who can explain more what will be tested during the aural test?
and what are the advise that should be taken regarding the 2 pieces.

noodleq comin to UM culture fac?

are u goin for classical or modern music?

Im sorry, i have no idea how the auditions will be , y not call them up

i guess it should be classical music.
i'm not aware that there's a separate classical and modern music course at UM.

i'm applying to USM, UM and UPM.
of course, the USM will be considered first since it's an apex uni.
so i'm hoping to find out what to expect from the auditions/interviews.
hope to get some pointers here

USM apex not bcoz of music la, they do alot of science research hehe

what i mean is during uni app... my app for USM will be priority lar, even though UPU is also applied at the same time... in the event, my app at USM is rejected or I decline the offer, then only the UPU app will be considered....

P.S. my no.1 choice at USM is the music degree

i hope that clarifies my confusing statement before.

Hi, I've apply music in USM. I want to know whether they're going to call you for your audition or they sent letter to inform you? And is the audition really difficult to get through? I'm a STPM leaver but my CGPA is below 2 and I'm already finish my grade 8 last year. Please help and thank you.
