香港開設(shè)音樂專業(yè)碩士的學(xué)校不多，最近有些學(xué)生過來咨詢該專業(yè)。為了讓大家有個詳細的了解，故在此專門做了一些研究。特別獻上香港音樂專業(yè)選校情況介紹。首先先介紹一下開設(shè)音樂專業(yè)的學(xué)校分別有哪些：
他們是: 1. 香港中文大學(xué)
2. 香港浸會大學(xué)
3. 香港教育學(xué)院
這三所大學(xué)的音樂專業(yè)方向不同，側(cè)重點不同。各位申請者選擇時需要了解清楚，對背景要求也截然不同。
接下來依次介紹一下：
1. 香港中文大學(xué)
音樂系
該專業(yè)是偏文科的，在文學(xué)院下的音樂系。該項目是專為音樂教師,藝術(shù)管理員、教堂的音樂家和音樂愛好者來升級他們的音樂知識的。課程包括西方,中國和世界音樂文化、流行音樂和香港的電影音樂,音樂管理和推廣等等。
該專業(yè)對音樂表演能力要求不強，所以在申請時對作品的要求沒有很強烈。甚至沒有明確說明要作品，所以申請時作品成為輔助材料。
但是該專業(yè)要有很強的實踐能力，比如實習(xí)或工作經(jīng)驗，對文書要求也很高，需要文書能體現(xiàn)學(xué)生對音樂的理解和未來的就業(yè)有明晰的目標。同時有面試要求。所以申請者重點要把文書做好!
2. 香港浸會大學(xué)
音樂系
該碩士課程是偏表演性質(zhì)的，對作品要求高。主要是在音樂表演能力、創(chuàng)造力方面培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的，并且有豐富的獎學(xué)金。學(xué)校的重點是強調(diào)獨奏,并提供一個在音樂制作方面的實踐經(jīng)驗。在過去的幾年,香港浸會大學(xué)的樂團除了廣泛的在香港演出外。其香港浸會大學(xué)女孩合唱團還有去到韓國、新加坡、加拿大、臺灣、馬來西亞、美國、捷克和俄羅斯表演。香港浸會大學(xué)合唱團也進行了在瑞士和奧地利的巡回演出。浸會大學(xué)交響樂團每年至少兩個主要的音樂會。他們的作曲家有重大國際演出,還贏得了很多杰出獎項。該課程項目設(shè)計的需要完成30個units,這樣才可以完成一年的碩士課程。其中學(xué)生必須完成三個核心課程(9units);至少一個完整的模塊(6units)和五個其他課程(15units)。
