The Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts and Melbourne Conservatorium of Music (Faculty of VCA and MCM) is a faculty of the University of Melbourne, in Victoria (Australia). VCAMCM is located near the Melbourne central business district, on two campuses, one - the Melbourne Conservatoriuma of Music (MCM) - on the Parkville campus of the University of Melbourne, and the other - the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) - on St Kilda Road, at Southbank. Courses and training offered at the VCA cover six academic disciplines: fine art, dance,〔(Further Studies in Dance – Victorian Institutions )〕 drama, film and television, music and production, alongside the Centre for Ideas and The Wilin Centre for Indigenous Arts and Cultural Development. Degree programs specialising in music performance, composition, musicology, ethnomusicology, conducting, pedagogy and music therapy are taught at the Conservatorium, which also runs an (Early Music Studio ), and oversees the publishing house (Lyrebird Press ). Both campuses offer graduate programs including certificates and diplomas, and research and coursework awards at the masters and doctoral levels. The library on the Southbank campus is known as the (Lenton Parr Music, Visual and Performing Arts Library ), whilst that at Parkville is the Louise Hanson-Dyer (Music Library ). ==History of VCAMCM== The Faculty of the VCA and Music was created in 2009 from the amalgamation of the University's Faculty of Music (founded as the University Conservatorium in 1895) and Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts.〔http://www.vcam.unimelb.edu.au/history〕 Founded in 1972, the VCA integrated into the University of Melbourne in 2007 as a separate faculty. Due to dissatisfaction – particularly from students of the old VCA – with the structural changes imposed by the University, in November 2009 former Telstra CEO Ziggy Switkowski was appointed to Chair a review. A number of his recommendations were adopted, resulting in the resignation of the inaugural Dean,〔(VCA chief quits amid overhaul ) accessed 4 Feb. 2011〕 abandonment of the previous push for full amalgamation, the creation of the present divisional structure with a more centralised administration and two relatively distinct teaching entities at the Parkville and Southbank campuses,〔http://www.artshub.com.au/au/news-article/opinions/performing-arts/vcams-new-conservatorium-of-music-181828〕 and a change in the title of the head of the two divisions to Director. The appointment of a new Dean under this new structure, occurred in 2011.〔http://union.unimelb.edu.au/farrago/uni-news/new-dean-appointed-at-vcam〕 This was not the first time, however, that sharing of resources across two institutions had been attempted. In 1974, at the time of the establishment of the VCA School of Music, the original entity called the University Conservatorium was finally unincorporated. Symbolically as well as in practice, the central place of instrumental tuition at the Faculty was removed to the new VCA and replaced with a more academic syllabus.〔Tregear, Peter, ''The Conservatorium of Music, University of Melbourne: An Historical Essay to Mark its Centenary, 1895–1995'', University of Melbourne, 1997, p.125〕 Between 1975 and 1981, the teaching of most woodwind, some brass, double bass and guitar was undertaken by VCA staff at the Southbank campus. Although much work has been done to ensure the autonomy of the VCA, the economic climate of the late 1980s led to a full amalgamation of the VCA and the Faculty of Music that took effect on 1 July 1991. The new organisation was known as the Faculty of Music, Visual and Performing Arts. John Poynter was appointed as Dean of the new super faculty. In September, Warren Bebbington was appointed to the vacant Ormond Chair and, at the urging of staff on both sides, worked to reverse the amalgamation, which was effected in 1994.〔Tregear, ''The Conservatorium of Music'', p.136〕 On 1 January 2012 the Faculty's name was changed to reflect the two operating divisions and is now known as the Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts and Melbourne Conservatorium of Music (Faculty of the VCA and MCM). 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「University of Melbourne Faculty of VCA and MCM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
