At the Conservatory, students are challenged to grow as artists and individuals, supported in exploring new frontiers, and given platforms to showcase their talents to the world.

Well-positioned within the dynamic and ever-evolving world of music, YST will continue to equip students with the capacities they need to succeed in the industry.

Advancing higher music education

YST will be at the forefront of innovation in music and music education, exploring new technologies and approaches. We seek to push the boundaries of what is possible, and partner other institutions within and beyond NUS to develop exciting new initiatives.

The Conservatory will continue to expand its offerings, nurturing music enthusiasts and professionals through our courses across pre-college, undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education.

Engaging the community

YST will continue to be a vital and active part of the local ecosystem, offering a wide range of concerts and educational programmes that are accessible to all members of the community.

The Conservatory will work closely with schools, healthcare institutions and other community partners to provide targeted music education and immersion opportunities for people of all ages.
