Hi Jaco. I just wanted to ask if im required to have any prior offical education in music or not, because ive been playing the guitar and a little piano for a while now under my father who is a musician. Will i be accepted based on qualification or audition performance or both? Thanks 🙂
If you don’t have any formal music training, we use the musical aptitude test to determine your suitability for music study. If you are accepted, you will need to have a main instrument for your music study, which in your case will have to be piano as we don’t offer guitar.
I’m a professional singer with BA.ED with Uniwest (MahikengCampus).
Would love to do vocals and piano..
Be sure to apply before 31 July then.
