Language No matter whether you apply for any type of university abroad, language is the top priority. At present, except for some European countries that require students to pass their own language test when applying, schools in most countries require English proficiency tests. IELTS and TOEFL are currently the most commonly used international English proficiency tests. There are generally two options for applying to foreign music conservatories: comprehensive university music conservatories and professional music schools. Take the United States as an example. If you want to enter the music conservatories of prestigious comprehensive schools such as Harvard University and Yale University, you need an IELTS score of 7 or above and a TOEFL score of 100 or above. If you want to get into professional music schools such as Juilliard School and Berklee College of Music, your IELTS score is required. Requirements are 6-6.5 or above, and TOEFL score is 80 or above. 2. GPA The full name of GPA is Grade Point Average, which is the average grade point (average score, average grade point). The full GPA score of ordinary courses in the United States is 4.0 points. For some advanced courses, such as honors courses, AP courses, etc., the full GPA score for a single subject can reach 5 points or even 6 points. GPA is a reflection of a person's learning ability. The more prestigious the school, the higher the GPA requirements. Relatively speaking, the GPA requirements of professional music schools are probably between 2.5-3.2, that is to say, the average grade in the school It should be between 75-85. But if you want to enter the music conservatory of a comprehensive and prestigious university, you need a score of at least 3.0 or even 3.6 or above. 3. Students who choose to study music performance as a major will generally continue their studies in their major, such as orchestral music, keyboard, vocal music, etc. Some students have a foundation in instrumental music but do not want to major in instrumental music, so they can choose composition, music production, Popular music, etc.; for students who study folk music, because there are almost no such courses specifically offered abroad, students who want to study abroad can choose majors related to the cultural and art industry such as art management.
