Program Overview

The Department of Musical Arts was established in 1977 as the Department of Music Education, later becoming one of the core academic departments of the Faculty of Arts and Design since 1988. The Instrumental Performance Program is a strongly applied track focused on developing the student’s performance skill on their major instrument.

Across eight semesters, students follow a progressive path: from general and Arabic music theory and rhythmic/vocal solfège in the first stage, through progressive levels of major-instrument study, harmony, and orchestra, to advanced musical analysis and a graduation project.
