Studying Music in Malaysia involves the art of combining vocal or instrumental sounds together, including playing instruments, singing or composing to create a harmonious melody for entertainment.
Do you love music? Not just the new bassy song from Martin Garrix, but all genres. From rock to rap and even jazz, you appreciate each and every genre for its identity and authenticity. Do you have a passion for instruments, playing them and working with them to produce the best sound quality possible? If you do, then you may want to consider studying Music in Malaysia.
If language is said to bridge communication gaps, then music is a global connector of people. Some people find freedom

This programme allows you to take courses in music performance, music production, music composition, music theory or taking private lessons on instrumental music.
With so many degree options out there, here are some top reasons why you should study Music:
Playing an instrument not only requires skill and talent but also memorising the song sheet. This means that you’ll be jogging your memory a lot while studying this course.
Studying music will help you improve your language skills. Don’t see how this relates to playing an instrument? Well, music students who constantly read notes are using the left side of the brain which enhances their language and reasoning skills.
Learning music builds teamwork because you don’t just play alone, you’ll also learn how to play in a band like how they do in an orchestra. Believe it or not, playing in a band is so much more difficult than playing on your own because you’ll need to know when to play and when NOT to play so it produces the right melody.
“Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.”
- Ludwig Van Beethoven

Important Note: While being a performer is a more popular career in other countries, you can opt to work at local music centres, theatres, give private music lessons or take part in international competitions.
This course may not be offered at every institution. You can also take up this course as a part-time study.
Whether your strumming a guitar, banging on a set of drums, rocking notes from different octaves on the microphone, or setting up the amplifiers to emit the best quality of sound possible, you have to be good with your hands.
Music is another form of art; an art is a highly subjective topic. Different people will have varying opinions of your work, no matter how good or bad it is. Therefore, you’ll need to be confident enough to display your work to the world and accept whatever reaction they may have.
While possessing natural talent is nice (How many of us have wished we were born with a nice voice?), to make it in the music industry, you’ll need to work harder than you ever have. As many people vie in competitions and auditions, you’ll need to train day and night to sharpen your skills and make it one day.
