Zhejiang conservatory establishes new education platform

In response to this phenomenon, Zhejiang Conservatory of Music established "five colleges" on June 18 to create a new platform for "post-undergraduate" professional talent education. Professor Wang Rui, president of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, said this is an innovative practice aimed at training senior professionals to meet the requirements of professionalization.

The "five colleges" include the Band College, the National Orchestra College, the Opera College, the College of Chamber Music and the Chorus College. As a new teaching platform of performance discipline, they will adopt the full credit system and flexible learning system for practical teaching on the basis of undergraduate and postgraduate training programs. At the same time, for the first time in China, the colleges have implemented the formulation of performance talent norms and curriculum standards, turning the stage and concert hall into classrooms. They have also adopted master classes, training rehearsals and concerts as the main teaching forms, and international art festivals and music festivals as a venue for practical work. At the end of the term, concerts and graduation concerts are put on for graduates to show their skills and select and employ people by professional orchestras.
