Happy New Year!!!
UiTM Faculty of Music Calendar of Events
March 2015
As the nation’s first Faculty of Music in a public institution, the faculty is on a path that will see it
emerge as a strong force in music in higher education.
The faculty is devoted to the advancement of music and scholarship in Malaysia through
academic excellence and high performance standards.
Our mission is to prepare students to become professional musicians and music educators in a
holistic manner through creative teaching-learning strategies and research. We strive to create
a nurturing and supportive environment while challenging students to develop their talents to
the fullest.
With a student population of over 530 students, the relatively small size of the faculty provides a
conducive and productive atmosphere for ensuring individual attention for students in their
music studies. We place an importance in maintaining a balanced emphasis on both
performance and scholarship while presenting students with the training necessary to excel
within their chosen field.
The UiTM Faculty of Music is thrilled to continue its 2015 Music Series which promises to be
just as full and exciting as 2014, which culminated with an outstanding 30th Anniversary
celebration at the Dewan Filhamonik Petronas. Several of this years exciting events include the
2015 GLOMUS Camp and the ground breaking Malay Opera, Putri Saadong, which features
original compositions by UiTM Faculty of Music Associate Professor Dr Tazul Tajuddin. We
sincerely hope that you can join us.

JU/NY Masterclass
!
The UiTM Faculty of Music Shah Alam in collaboration with No Black Tie will be presenting the
duo JU/NY. Hailing from the United States of America, the duo will be performing and
conducting a workshop in which they will share their expertise of the Asian Music Industry
during Forum MU222 on 10th of March, 2015 at 1030am. From Jazz to Funk, Hip Hop to
Electronic, what makes JU/NY special is their ability to perform with an intuitiveness and
musical perceptivity that one can only attain through years of experience.
!
Pearson and Parker have performed with International artists such as Valtinho Anastacio and
Ezra Brown, adding to their repertoire of innovative collaborations. In Malaysia, JU/NY
continues to work with local icons Joe Flizzow and SonaOne, having scored ‘Apa Khabar’ for
the AJL29 Award Show, winning the arrangement 1st place.
Truly a delight to watch on stage, one can sense the artistic connection between these two
exceptional artists, having perfected the balance of their two instruments and sounds. Due to
release a track dedicated to Malaysia with Najwa Mahiaddin, JU/NY is one to watch in the
following month.
