Music Colleges & Universities: Music Programs in Malaysia

I get questions about this from time to time on Twitter, Facebook, via emails and even Instagram. So, I decided to compile this as a guide to anyone exploring college or university level qualifications as a musician.

I am not recommending any of these programs specifically (that’s something I cover in private consultations and lessons) but if you’re looking to do your own research for your options of studying in Malaysia, I hope this will be a good starting point.

Good luck!
