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

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

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

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