Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>One of the innovative academic programmes being administered at Malawi University of Science & Technology (MUST) \u2014 though Bingu School and Culture \u2014 is the Bachelor\u2019s of Arts Degree in African Musicology, which is currently in four cohorts.<\/p>\n

However, challenges being faced include students\u2019 access to music equipment for their personal practicals outside classes, but this has been eased following a donation of several equipment by one of MUST\u2019s development partner, International Youth Fellow (IYF) from Korea.<\/p>\n

The handover \u2014 of state-of-art keyboards; violins and Korean-styled flutes on Wednesday, October 5 \u2014 was graced by IYF\u2019s African representative, Jae Yun Shim, the Malawi representative and several of the Fellowship\u2019s members at MUST Campus at Goliati, Thyolo.<\/p>\n

Jae Yun Shim said it pleased them to assist MUST taking cognizance that they are administering the prestigious Bachelor\u2019s of Arts Degree in African Musicology, adding that Koreans highly regard academic music as important in empowering youths in entrepreneurship skills.<\/p>\n

The ceremony was also spiced by special performances of IYF\u2019s members in a flute trio playing, \u2018Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star\u2019; a flute and violin duet playing a Korean symphony and a grand finale of a duet singing a Malawian gospel composition of \u2018Uthenga wa Yesu\u2019.<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of the Bingu School and Culture (BISCH), Dr. Atikonda Mtenje-Mkochi described the donation as timely donation, saying BISCH offers the Bachelor of Arts degree in African Musicology.<\/p>\n

Mkochi, who is department head of language & communication studies \u2014 and senior lecturer in language and communication \u2014 highlighted the music programme\u2019s success that they are proud that they moved seamlessly from inception four years ago and are ready to graduate the inaugural cohort next year.<\/p>\n

She emphasized that this was a great achievement and consider the programme as crucial to what MUST stands for as a centre of excellence, saying the students undergo lessons in African drums, symphony and orchestra.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey learn to play the music equipment from scratch and we are proud that the current final cohort performed the orchestra for the first time during our recent graduation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are also booked perform at various high-profile functions and the demand is positive because of their excellent performance in orchestra.\u201d<\/p>\n

On challenges, she singled out that CoVID-19 played a huge set back as their lessons is mostly practical and that while they had to innovate into online teaching and learning, they still had to administer physical practicals but in clusters.<\/p>\n

She said MUST invested a lot in equipment but still there were challenges since the students have to access some of them for their own use outside lecture rooms to practice and perfect their art \u2014 thus they appreciate the support from IYF. She added that they are working towards providing state-of-art studios and lecture theatres just for the academic music programme.<\/p>\n

Representing MUST Vice-Chancellor, Dr Davies Mweta \u2014 director of the Malawi Institute of Technology (MIT), one of the schools under MUST \u2014 also profoundly thanked IYF for the gesture, saying the university is shaping the future of Malawian youths by offering various academic programmes, with music being one of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is in line with MW2063 agenda as well as the African Union\u2019s Vision 2063 under the pillar of skills development,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are under-resourced and we greatly value support of this nature from our development partners such as IYF in order for us to develop right skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith right skills, our graduates will return to the society fully equipped to enhance any entrepreneurial ventures they would consider to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
