Young Artist Programme
The Conservatory currently runs a Young Artist Programme for teenagers who demonstrated outstanding performance during the auditions for admission to the Bachelor of Music Degree programme but were not offered admission based on the academic requirements of the National University of Singapore. These students are expected to be enrolled in Singapore schools and are normally aged 15 - 17.
The programme is conducted by Conservatory faculty members and provides professional training in musical performance with supporting academic study. Students receive 1 hour per week of private lesson in their applied study, 2 hours per week of studio class, and participate in masterclasses, concerts, chamber music and orchestral sessions as agreed with the studio teacher and relevant module director. The academic component of the course includes weekly two-hour classes over four semesters, designed to foster musical understanding and appreciation from a range of different perspectives.
