"A Conservatory student's life is so filled with concerts that performing can almost become a routine. On 6 July, however, it was an extraordinary feeling to walk onstage dressed not in concert attire, but a graduation gown."

"I am glad that I attended my most important four years at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music. It has laid a firm foundation for both techniques and musicianship in my trombone studies."

"One cannot make music alone. At the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory, everyone is an important piece in this musical community - composers need performers and vice versa, and the orchestra can never do without missing double basses, flutes or trombones. Unity is key, and here, friends work, strive and play hard together; and together, can we then make music."
