Faculty’s Commitment

Introduction

The Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music was established through a collaboration between the National University of Singapore and the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University. Founded as the Singapore Conservatory of Music in 2001, the school was renamed Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music in recognition of a gift from the family of the late Dr Yong Loo Lin to the Conservatory. Yong Siew Toh, a music teacher and daughter of the late Dr Yong, found her greatest joy in giving music to others. This donation will support development efforts with respect to Conservatory faculty, facilities and student scholarships. The Yong family believes this gift is an apt way to remember her life and her dedication to music.

Educational Philosophy

The Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music aims to offer a focal point for musical activity, exchange and research both for Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region, contributing to Singapore’s global position.

The B.Mus. programme is designed to prepare performing and creative musical artists for the diverse range of relevant graduate or professional opportunities both in the Asia-Pacific region and around the world. It also aims to help students achieve musical excellence in their specialisation by developing their self-awareness, intuition, imagination and capacity for effective communication.
