EspañolCOLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MUSIC
(Redirected from Music school)
:''This article is about the 'higher professional education in music'. For the main article about higher education see Higher education.''
A 'university school of music' or 'college of music', or 'academy of music' or 'conservatoire' (British English) — also known as a 'conservatory' (American English) or a 'conservatorium' (Australian English) — is a higher education institution dedicated to teaching the art of music, including the playing of musical instruments, musical composition, musicianship, music history, and music theory.
Colleges of music and university schools of music are tertiary level institutions, and they may either be independent or part of a university. Many music schools originated as vocational training centers for would-be professional musicians, often outside the main academic structure. These institutions have retained an emphasis on performance into the 21st century, while also adopting a more formal academic approach. On the other hand there are university music departments, which originally placed more emphasis on academic study of music, but often place greater emphasis on performance now than they did in the past. The two groups overlap more than they used to, with the specific balance of vocational training and academic study varying from one institution to another.
In the 8th Century, The Royal Pear Garden was set up by Emperor Xuanzong in the purpose of teaching Chinese Opera.
Some institutions have university status while others have vocational university status. University schools of music grant professional degrees. The time required to complete music degrees is generally not much different from degrees in other fields, i.e. 3-4 years for a Bachelor of Music degree, 2 years for a Master of Music degree, and 3 years for a Doctor of Musical Arts or Doctor of Music Degree. A Ph.D degree is usually gained for areas such as musicology, music composition, or music education.
The National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), is an accreditor for Colleges or university schools of music in the United States of America. They currently accredit 610 institutions of higher learning.
The European Association of Conservatoires (AEC) is the main association of College or university school of music in Europe.
U.S. News & World Report and ''Change'' make a national and international ranking of the music schools. (See also College and university rankings)
Most of the world's famous music colleges and conservatories focus on Western art music (classical music). However, in non-European and non-American countries, especially Asian conservatories, traditional instruments may be offered as a principal study. An example is the Shanghai Conservatory in Shanghai, China and other Chinese conservatories, where Chinese traditional instruments are taught.
