Queen's University: Faculty
of Music
Queen's University offers four
undergraduate degrees with concentrations in
music.
The School of Music admits students into a four-year
program leading to the Bachelor of Music degree,
as described on the B.Mus. page. Admission is
based on an audition, and students must also
meet the minimum academic requirements for admission
to the University. Details on how to apply and
the audition process are described on the Prospective
Students page.
For those students whose goal to be a music
educator has been chosen before they enter university,
the B.Mus. degree can be combined with a Bachelor
of Education. Admission to the five-year concurrent
B.Mus./B.Ed. program is based on an audition,
on a Personal Statement of Experience (evaluated
by the Faculty of Education) and on meeting Queen's
academic requirements. A student whose application
to the B.Mus/B.Ed. program is unsuccessful will
automatically be considered for the B.Mus. program.

National Youth Orchestra of
Canada
Many Kingston musicians are allumni of the
NYO, and this year's tour had one former Kingstonian
-a violin student of Joan Sutherland, and a
cellist - currently a student of Wolf Tormann,
principal cellist of the Kingston Symphony.
Founded in 1960, the NYOC was established
primarily as an educational body with the objective
of preparing young Canadian musicians for careers
as professional orchestral players. Its success
has been proven by the fact that approximately
one-third of Canada's professional orchestral
musicians are alumni of the NYOC.
Every year, the NYOC receives an average of
500 applications from across Canada for a coveted
100 positions in the orchestra. Based on nationally
held auditions, successful candidates will
be given the opportunity to participate in
the NYOC regardless of economic or geographic
circumstance. All musicians are awarded scholarships
to help cover the costs of the NYOC training
session.
The session, held on the campus of a Canadian
university, offers more hours of training of
orchestral playing in one summer than most
universities offer in a year. Faculty members
of the NYOC come from prominent orchestras
throughout Europe and North America.
Following the NYOC’s 1996 Tokyo performance,
delegates of the World Youth Orchestra Conference
Festival declared the NYOC as being “the
best youth orchestra in the world.” In
2002, the NYOC returned to Asia to perform
at the same festival as well as tour parts
of Japan and China.
In its forty-five years, the NYOC has become
an internationally renowned and respected training
ground for young orchestral musicians. Its
alumni form the core of major Canadian orchestras
while others are members of prominent international
orchestras. More than 2,300 of Canada's finest
young musicians have received invaluable orchestral
training from this nationally treasured institution
which remains unique from its inception to
the present day.
