The Diploma in Music is a full-time, two (2) year programme offering advanced training in music, with majors available in the following areas: Piano, Organ, Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Percussion, Classical Guitar, and Voice.
Please note: As of the current admission cycle, possession of a valid JAMB result is now a requirement for admission into the MUSON Diploma School of Music.
In addition to their major, students are required to take two (2) semesters of a minor instrument from a different instrumental family. All voice majors must pass at least Grade 2 Piano, while all instrumentalists must take and pass Vocal Techniques. Every student is also expected to be a member of the choir. Participation in the orchestra is mandatory for all string majors, and all wind and percussion majors must be part of the band. Students who are not majors in these areas are also welcome to audition for either the orchestra or band.
Our goal is to produce well-rounded, thoroughly educated musicians who are eligible for direct entry as transfer students into university music degree programmes. We strive to graduate musicians of a standard comparable to those from a conservatoire, and our syllabus is carefully patterned on internationally recognized conservatoire standards.
