I am a music major (normal class) in Grade 09, majoring in vocal music. I plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but I am blind in choosing institutions. Please give me some advice.

Musicology postgraduate subjects look at specific schools. Different schools have different requirements and reference books will be different. English politics is compulsory, while others are generally about the history of Chinese and Western music, harmony, musical forms and professional subjects (different schools may have specialized musicology subjects, and perhaps piano exams).

Good normal universities include Beijing Normal University, Capital Normal University, Northeast Normal University, Shaanxi Normal University and Nanjing Normal University. If the college is good, the vocal music will not be too bad. Choosing a tutor is very important. Maybe it is better for you to choose a good teacher from an unknown school than an inexperienced teacher from a good school. Depends on what you focus on. If you like a city, or you like a school, or you especially want to learn from a teacher, what should you focus on? Maybe you can have both, that's the best. You can't have both, you can only choose which one you value more.

After choosing a tutor, choose a tutor to study in advance. After all, the graduate student is a tutorial system, and the tutor has the final say. At the same time, if you find a tutor to study in advance, you can not only let the teacher know you in advance, adapt to the teacher's methods, but also improve your professional level.

These are my suggestions. I hope they can help you. In the end, we should make our own decisions by combining all factors. Please keep asking questions if you have any questions.
