• Introduction:
⁃ I want to apply for Jazz Studies, either BM or MM, for I currently don’t sure
which degree does match my music skill. Having learning playing guitar for 8
years so far, I started to play jazz for 3 years ago. To me, Jazz music opens
my mind, ears, and lots of perspective to my whole life.
• Academic background:
• Working experience :
⁃ I have worked for some position, most of which are part-time jobs. As a
business development intern, warehousing management part-time worker,
musical instrument shop part-time worker and private home teacher currently.
Choosing part-time jobs is for much time to practice my musical skills.
⁃ Since the end of 2017, I started to audit foundation jazz courses taught by
Hope Yeh at Tainan National University of the Arts for nearly two semester.
Learning Jazz History, Jazz Harmony, Jazz Ensemble, and Jazz Rhythm, I
also purchased his online courses and started from scratch to enhance my
skills.
• Motivation:
⁃ There are two reason that I want to choose to apply for CCNY. One is there
are many professional private lessons for di erent instruments. The other is
that there are lots of courses laying a solid foundation to be a musician.
⁃ After graduation, I will stay in New York for three to ve years. There is no end
about learning jazz. I hope I can still immerse in this beautiful place to
improve myself. Furthermore, I hope I can travel to di erent countries to
interact and exchange ideas with other musicians. Ultimately, what I learned
can enrich my life, my thought and even make both ends meet.
