About
The Department of Music was established in 1984 and aims to provide a portfolio of music courses, which are both relevant to the Singaporean music performance and education scene, and also attractive to talented international students.
Just over 200 diploma and degree students from Singapore, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Ukraine, USA, and Vietnam currently study music at NAFA. They are supported by an international faculty, all of whom are music college graduates and experts in their own fields. In addition to weekly public performances in the Lee Foundation Theatre, our student soloists, ensembles and orchestras can be regularly heard in performance throughout Singapore and overseas.
Frequent visits are made by leading international artists to give masterclasses, workshops, lectures and specialist support. Our strong links with professional arts organisations within Singapore and developing relationships with renowned music conservatoires overseas enable us to maintain high international music standards.
