Pre-Foundation In Music The Pre-Foundation in Music is offered to individuals who wish to pursue theBachelor Of Music (Hons) in Professional Music or the Berklee Transfer Programme at ICOM but do not possess the entry requirement of a grade 4 in formal music education. This intensive programme is conducted over a twelve-week period and is carried out on a part-time learning basis. The course provides students with the rudiments of music, mainly music theory and ensembles.
The rationale of the programme is to provide an avenue for musicians and enthusiasts who are able to play a musical instrument but lack note-reading skills. This programme then acts as a stepping-stone into ICOM's full-time programmes. In the course, students are taught the fundamentals of music theory to a level that is equal to a Grade 4 in accordance with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) and Trinity College of Music. They are also given exposure in performing as a group or ensemble.
At the end of the course, students are assessed in a final examination and those who receive a mark of 60% and above qualify into the main programmes.
Intakes for the Pre-Foundation In Music are in January, March, July and September.
