My review is based on the Faculty of Music, which I do not recommend to anyone who wants to have a complete, proven or prestigious musical training. Only, and in a bad way, is a mixture between Contemporary music and Classical Music that leaves few job opportunities and little real residue. In addition to creating excessive competition in an area that does not have special demand in the market such as Contemporary Music.

The School is prestigious in fields such as Cinema or photography, but in music it has only been a few years of constant change and is little related to the industry.
Emphasis is placed more on the Vanguard than on offering a solid and versatile musical training.

Students are especially poorly prepared in basic matters such as hearing and composition. It is the only musical educational center in which it is possible to imagine that students examine themselves on atonal pieces without knowing how to distinguish auditory a simple V, I.

The only prestigious teaching staff, as in the case of some references that could be indicated, have been dismissed or appear in advertising but have never or rarely been seen by the School. This is a fact.

It is also known among the students that the management of the University Degree in Music encourages some students to drop out because they "have no wood" or have interests other than classical Vanguard music. In fact, a considerable number of enrollees drop out each year. It is not the right place for someone who shows an interest in modern music, production, songwriting, sound, jazz, rock, pop etc. in the words of those responsible for the degree. It is for those who wish to make concert music, as would be done in a public conservatory with a much lower cost and more guarantees.

Despite the fact that the Film School and other sections have good means, the music rehearsal rooms and their material are in precarious conditions and the organization of the school leaves much to be desired.

In order to report on the situation and without discrediting interest to the entity (because, as I have already said, it is different in other disciplines and for that reason it has a good reputation in other areas), I exercise my freedom of expression in this regard and I urge you to consider other options for applicants who want to study music.
