[tyanak_me]

I've a question then. Is there anyone acknowledged to be any of the following and where are they based:

1. The country's best classical composer
2. The country's best symphony conductor
3. The country's best pianist
4. The country's best violinist
----
We of course know the philippines has only one full symphony orchestra (Japan has nine).

UST pinakamagaling.

OK din daw st. scho. :)

[Screaming_Wind]

sa UP college of music, puede po ba mag Major sa guitar and minor sa piano?
ano po ibig sabihin ng COE status?

[n3X]

I believe that UP is the best but UST is not far behind. Most PHSA alumni go to UP. Most NAMCYA people I know go to the College of Music din. The choirs of UP are the best, including the Philippine Madrigal Singers. The culture of music and concerts in the campuses is very strong. Of the 10 National Artists for Music, 8 of them were involved with UP with the exception of Cuenco and Kasilag. I mean yun palang, obvious naman na siguro diba. At saka, please wag na tayo magpaste ng kung anoanong articles, mag-aminan na lang tayo kung ano totoo. School bashing nanaman e.

oo nga! SCHOOL BASHING nanaman ito. I dont know why UST students loves to copy and paste with pictures pa ha...

[intensity1214]

UST pa rin. :)

[clawed_out]

:rolleyes: so? how can you prove it? epsilog ka na naman eh.

coup_plotter: you're the only one insinuating that thomasians would bash you if you dont agree with them.


i am not sure of this one but the UST singers are not from the conservatory of music.

[Soccer_6]

they are not.. kasi they're from different colleges in UST...iba iba course nila..which makes them all the more admirable...imagine if they are from the Conservatory of Music?! gaano na sila kagaling nun...

[zacharaiolsen]

wow. a pex thread for music schools.

UST at UP lang ang may Center/s of Excellence in Music, ibig sabihin, proven na na magaling ang field na to, magaling ang graduates at proffessors, maganda ang curriculum. Commission on Higher Education ang nagpaparangal nito.

i think pwede kang mag minor ng piano pag guitar major ka, ive got many friends sa UP music. sa UST ****, pag guitar major ka, automatic piano ang minor mo, unless double major or minor ka, pwede kang pumili ng iba, pero di pwedeng maalis ang piano. (logical **** kasi, music stud ka, u should at least be good in playing one of the very basic instruments w/c is the piano.)

correction, hindi po product ng ust conservatory si aubrey miles, at maski si aiza. hindi po sila graduate, malamang di nakayanan ni aubrey miles ang hirap. at si aiza naman, ive geard nagshift sa fine arts dahil andun ang gf nya.. si ciara, di pa graduate.

yes, true, mas maraming national artist ang from UP.

di naman nangba-bash si thomas, did he say anything against UP music? posting articles is just a way of showing facts, pag mga taga UP ang nagpo-post ng ganito, di naman ata kami nagrereklamo. in fact dapat pa nga maging proud kayo kasi laging pinas at pinoy ang nagcha-champion sa mga international chorale competitions, (UST singers ang dahilan) most of them are of course, from the conservatory, pero marami ring taga ibang colleges. (in the conservatory alone, dalawa na agad ang vocal ensebles (koro tomasino and liturgikon) at madalas din manalo sa chorale contests internationally) sana wag niyo pag-awayin ang dalawa, maraming magakkakilala at magkakaibigang profs at sudents from both institutions. i know frnds who transeferred from UP to UST and vice versa.. wag niyo kami itulad sa ibang kurso.

[zacharaiolsen]

some differences:

mas mura sa UP keysa sa UST.

UST's curriculum has a lot more subects than UP's.

UP has wider programs because they also offer courses in ballet, dance. etc.

the UP college of music doesnt accept students who cannot read notes (basic), while UST's conservatory does. kailangan may background ka na sa music para matanggap sa UP (except for the extension programs w/c are for people who only enroll fo rvoice lessons, etc.) pero sa UST, tumatanggap sila kahit wala ka pang musical bakcground.

UST conservatory is the only music school in the nation that has a complete all-student symphony orhcestra and an all-student symphony band.

[plum_sun20]

bakit hindi ka na lang mag-aral sa Center For Pop Music Philippines o kaya Yamaha school of music?

[Screaming_Wind]

i already tried sa yamaha, time for a change i guess.

so kunyari super *** ako alam sa instrument na yun, pasok na ako sa UST bsta pasado sa entrance exam? anu pa po requirements *** UST? salamat po.

also, puede po ba mag double major sa UP at UST college of music?

any one know po the coverage of the guitar and piano programs of both schools? like kung classical guitar lang tinuturo or all aspects and styles(Jazz, modern(blues/rock), clsasical, etc...), same question din po for the piano?
salamat ng marami.

saan po ba ang Center For Pop Music Philippines ? also, what courses do they offer?

[Naked_Salvation]

Voice major s'ya so malamang kumanta.
Pero hindi rin naman s'ya nagtagal sa UST, isang sem lang s'ya doon. At nung mga panahon na yun, wholesome pa image n'ya at hindi pa s'ya sikat. Kung ano man ang naging desisyon n'ya after n'yang umalis sa UST, labas na ang admin ng UST doon.
Ganoon kasimple! :D

[Introvert_S]

hmmm.... did she leave UST before entering showbiz or did she leave nung nasa showbiz na siya kasi di ba bawal sa UST yung mga students na may ganung image(?) like yung nangyari kay Alma concepcion?


anyway, hindi lang naman UST singers ang dahilan kung bakit may mga nananalong pinoy sa international choirs. Nandiyan ang Madrigal singers, UPSA, UPCC, and even la salle and admu chorales. By the way, the Madrigal Singers and UP Concert CHorus are of course handled by the College of Music but these choral groups are not exclusive to Music Students. UPSA is not under the College of Music and its members are also from different colleges.

[Thoma§]

she left UST kasi nag-showbiz siya. i can't remember kung siya ba 'yung bold star from UST na nagalit 'yung mga dominican priests (may nabasa ako sa diyaryo years ago, hindi ko lang maalala kung siya 'yun), kasi parang this starlet openly used and identified herself with the name of UST among the press people when she was just starting sa showbiz. she didn't even last a semester in UST, tapos she claims na she graduated or something.

Si Alma Concepcion ba tinakwil din ng USTe? :confused: I know her case, i just don't know what UST did to her after what happened.

Yep. Magaling 'yung Madrigal singers. May UP Ambassadors (???) di ba? Singers din ba 'yun? I've heard of that term from a UPian.

[Introvert_S]

yup, UP Singing Ambassadors (UPSA).

[Thoma§]

dati, frustrated akong maging member ng AB Tunorg or AB chorale. hehe.

salamat ng marami.

siguro naman kahit papano may alam ka sa instrument na gusto mong i-major, diba? i think ok lang yun, pero ikaw din ang mahihirapan kung konti lang talaga alam mo.. pero tuturuan ka naman nila from the basics hanggang sa maging super galing ka, nasa tyaga mo rin yun..
ang alam ko, for formality's sake lang ang pagkuha ng entrance exam para sa mga kumukuha ng music as first choice, ang kelangan talaga ipasa is yung audition, depende sa kung ano ang major/s (kasi pwedeng mag double major).

depende sa major mo, kung voice ka, dala ka ng piece mo, pero kahit wala, meron naman sila dun.. depende kung anio alam mo, vocalization, etc.
kung guitar or violin, syempre dapat dala mo instrument mo, except pag piano..
kung compo, kelangan mo mgdala ng mga compositions mo, yung may mga notes na **** so kelangan marunong ka na rin magsulat ng notes.. usually mga kumukuha nito mga shifters froom othgrs majors, pati theory and conducting.

syempre classical pa rin ang fundamental, kasi pag magaling ka na sa classical, sisiw na lang sayo ang pop, rock, and all the others genres.. kaya nga yun ang ginagamit sa kahit anong matinong music school. (unless syempre kung ang center for pop) and yes, nagtuturo rin samin ng jazz, required yun kahit anong major.. may mga jazz classes, ensembles, arrangings..


goodluck sayo.

pag extension, 4500 for 10 sensions, one hr per session, once a week. pag 20 sessions, 8,000. pwede nyo ata pagusapan ng prof kng ano gusto mo matutunan e.. sulit sya, pramis.

I think only 3 schools int the Philippines have a consevatory of Music. UST, UP, PWU. I just don't know if PWU offers music courses. I also don't know if St. Scho has a conservatory of music.

Conservatory of Music

As one of the two Centers of Excellence in music, the UST Conservatory of Music has strived to be a premiere music school. It is the only music school in the Philippines which has an all-student symphony orchestra and an all-student symphonic band. The Conservatory of Music has two choral groups exclusively of its students - The Coro Tomasino and the Liturgikon Vocal Ensemble (which has been specializing in sacred music performances). It also has a Millennium Woodwind Quintet, a Thomasian Brass Quintet and various smaller groups which can be called on as the need arises. Recently, it has organized a Rondalla which has already performed at least twice at the Concert at the Park at the Luneta and once at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP). The UST guitar ensemble has also performed in the different venues including the CCP. These are just some of the achievements of the college.

The Coservatory of Music is very proud to say that they are able to graduate 25 or more students annually with diverse majors.

no prob.

i think onti lang ang diffrences sa UP..

student po.. performer... nagtuturo na ren, voice/music lessons every summer. (rudiments, solfeggio/basic note reading,etc.)

paero alam mo, pag natuto ka ng clssical guitar pieces, grabeh mapapa tunganga mga tao sayo! ibang-iba, mejo mahirap pero super sarap sa tenga!!! kabilib-bilib ****.. in fact, para sakin, mas na apreciate ko pa ang classical guitar songs/pieces kesa sa piano... la lang, hehe..

nagtuturo ka pala, zacharaiolsen. anyway, if there are any music instruments i'm dying to learn, those are the piano and the guitar. my mother even bought me a guitar and a piano, years ago, so that we (the kids) would have this interest in music. my mom plays the guitar well, she wanted us to be like her because music had helped her to forget her worries of not being able to pay her tuition fees when she was studying here in Manila.

i took piano lessons before, i sucked big time. while playing the piano, it feels like i'm playing the piano with my feet.
