The College of Music, Mahidol University is a music school in Phutthamonthon, Nakhon Pathom, (in the western suburbs of Bangkok, Thailand). The College of Music is a professional school within Mahidol University. It was established in 1994 by Mahidol University under the leadership of Sugree Charoensook. Today, there are more than 1,300 students enrolled in the precollege, undergraduate, and graduate levels of the College of Music (approximately 300 precollege, 750 undergraduates and 250 graduate students). Students come from throughout Thailand, and approximately 5% of students are from other countries, primarily Southeast Asia. Each year about 250 new students enroll, selected from more than 1,200 applicants. Over 8,000 students (ranging in age from 3 years to over 80 years of age) are enrolled in the College of Music's Music Campus for the General Public. Since its founding in 1994, the Mahidol College of Music has quickly gained a reputation as Thailand's preeminent music school and the only comprehensive research institution for major areas of music study in Southeast Asia. The popularity of the College of Music in Thailand was spurred by the success of the Thai film ''Seasons Change''.〔http://www.music.mahidol.ac.th/en/index.php〕 ==History== In 1987, former president of Mahidol University, Prof. Dr. Nat Pamornprawat, established a project called the Music Education Development Project and appointed Dr. Sugree Charoensook to lead it. The program was initially offered at the Institute of Languages and Cultures for Rural Development as an elective course for undergraduate students. In 1989, the Institute of Languages and Cultures for Rural Development launched the first music master's degree in Thailand, titled the Master of Arts in Music and Culture, with an emphasis in Music Education. On September 21, 1994, the "College of Music Project" was accepted and acknowledged by Mahidol University. This date is known today as the founding date of the College of Music. The Master of Arts degree program was first introduced in 1995. The bachelor's degree program was first offered in 1998. The high school preparatory Young Artists Music Program was created in 2002. In 2005, the college introduced the first Ph.D. music program in Thailand. In 2013, the college will introduce Master of Music and Doctor of Music degrees. The D.M. degree will be the first such program in Southeast Asia.〔http://www.music.mahidol.ac.th/en/about/history.php〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「College of Music, Mahidol University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
