Is the National University of Singapore's Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music a good place to study music? It issues degrees validated by the peabody institute.

yes, of course the music conservatory is good. Don't you know that NUS is one of the best universities in the world?

the only thing is that it's not very easy to get in because there's a lot of competition.
I am thinking of it myself however I'm leaning more towards the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts because my teacher reccomended it and returns yearly to hold masterclasses. I am currently studying music overseas but intend to return next year.

These are the audition requirements:
1 Bach Prelude+Fugue
1 Classical Sonata (complete)
1 18th C piece
1 20 C piece
1 Concert Etude

anyway in case your interested this is the website for NAFA: https://www.nafa.edu.sg/in_courses/degree/2008/contents.htm

Lasalle has a music B.A degree course as well: https://www.lasalle.edu.sg/cgi-bin/WebObjects/LASALLE.woa/wa/page?pid=141

I thought Singapore was more famous for its Science and Maths Education and not for music.. NUS may be one of the best uni but one should see in which area.. It may not be so good for music..
