To enter a foreign conservatory of music requires language, GPA, major and other conditions.
1. Language.
No matter which foreign university you apply for, language is the most important. At present, except some European countries require students to pass the national language test, most foreign schools need to pass the English level test. IELTS and TOEFL are internationally recognized English proficiency tests.
generally speaking, there are two choices to study music abroad, one is the music school of a comprehensive university, and the other is a professional music school. Take the United States as an example. If you want to enter a comprehensive music school such as Harvard University and Yale University, you should have an IELTS score of 7 or above and a TOEFL score of 1 or above. If you are admitted to the Juilliard Conservatory of Music, Berkeley Conservatory of Music and other professional music colleges, you must have an IELTS score of 6-6.5 or above and a TOEFL score of 8 or above.
2、GPA。
GPA is the embodiment of a person's learning ability. The more prestigious schools are, the higher their requirements for GPA are. Relatively speaking, the requirements for GPA in professional music colleges are between 2.5 and 3.2, that is to say, the average score in schools should be between 75 and 85. However, if you want to enter the Music School of a comprehensive famous university, you need a score of at least 3. or even 3.6.
3. major.
Students who study music performance usually continue their professional studies, such as orchestral music, keyboard and vocal music. There are also some students who have the foundation of instrumental music and don't want to study instrumental music. They can also choose composition, music production, pop music and so on.
For students studying music, because there are few specialized courses abroad, students who want to study abroad can choose arts management and other majors related to cultural and artistic industries.
It is worth noting that comprehensive universities abroad generally have specialized conservatories. Compared with a separate professional conservatory of music, it has higher requirements for language and GPA. Among them, public schools charge lower fees, and professional music colleges require higher scores in professional examinations, among which private schools have stronger teachers.
