Foundation in Music

The Foundation in Music programme prepares students for a bachelor’s degree in music by building strong musical knowledge and thinking skills. Students will explore music in depth through courses such as Appreciation of Music, Music Listening, Introduction to Malaysian Music and Introduction to the

To further enhance practical abilities, students will take part in performance and ensemble learning in choir or orchestra, as well as musicianship courses, while also training on their instrument through major and minor instrument studies. The programme also develops teamwork, responsibility and communication, while strengthening digital and media skills through a range of elective courses.
