The department has excellent facilities which aim to provide students with a rich and challenging educational experience to develop effective modes of practice, combined with an understanding of the social context within which contemporary artists must operate. Performance oriented majors study effective technical and interpretive methods as well as repertoire. A unique facility in the department is the Experimental Music Studio founded in 1988, which is the first of its kind in Taiwan. Although the courses-load is intensive, the electronic studio courses are popular with all students. A graduate program leading to the degree, Master of Music was established in 1996, enabling qualified students to pursue advanced study in a variety of disciplines, including strings, winds, guitar, voice, piano, percussion and conducting.
Intensive studies promote the development of research, writing and performance skills.
Students are admitted by audition.
