PRINCESS GALYANI VADHANA INSTITUTE OF MUSIC Located near the iconic Rama VIII bridge and the historic Bang Yi Khan area, PGVIM is a leading Music Conservatoire with a mission to develop the standard of music-making in Thailand and Southeast Asia, develop new knowledge, and provide a vibrant community for students, professional performers, composers, and researchers to promote music as a tool for progress and harmony. Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music, or “PGVIM,” was initiated in 2007 as a project to honour Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra, who, on the auspicious occasion of her 84th birthday, graciously gave her name to the new endeavour. The institute provides a platform for musicians and music enthusiasts to exchange their knowledge, engage in musical dialogues, and collectively share their love of music.

Since the establishment act was approved in 2012, PGVIM has aimed to ful l Her Royal Highness’s vision to educate new audiences and develop an international standard for Thai musicians through the creation of projects such as the Youth Orchestra, Community Choir, International Symposium, Music festival, and Audience Development Projects. Heading towards its 10th anniversary, PGVIM is fully committed to ful lling Her Royal's vision by continuing to engage in musical dialogues and paving the way to the future with the initiation of the Musical Arts, Science, and Experiment Centre project in the Klong Luang Area, Pathumthani.

PRINCESS GALYANI VADHANA AND CLASSICAL MUSIC “On ne peut atteindre ni à l’art ni à la sagesse si l’on ne s’est pas adonné à leur étude” (One cannot attain art of wisdom if one has not devoted oneself to their study) – this quote by Democritus was one of Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra’s favourite quotes, and it gives insight into the character of Her Royal Highness. Since her passing in 2008, Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra has left many legacies that can still be felt strongly in Thai society today. Believing that lifelong learning is important for human development, Her Royal Highness’s activities focused on promoting education, social works, healthcare, liberal arts, and cultural activities. Aside from these activities, Her Royal Highness’s love of classical music was well evidenced. She was the greatest supporter behind the development of classical musicians and organisations in Thailand. Born in London on Sunday, 6 May 1923, Princess Galyani Vadhana was the eldest sister to the two late kings of Thailand, King Ananthamahidon Phra Atthamaramathibodin, and King Bhumibhol the Great. Her Royal Highness was exposed to classical music at a very young age, through piano lessons and listening to classical music while nishing school’s assignments. This led to her deep understanding of classical music. Upon moving back to Thailand, Her Royal Highness attended classical music performances whenever she was able in order to support classical musicians and organisations. In 2000, Her Royal Highness donated her personal budget to support music learning for youth, which later became the Fund for Classical Music Promotion Under the Patronage of HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana. These funds continue to support classical music activities, providing a springboard for developing young Thai classical musicians who are playing important roles in raising the standard of Thai classical musicians today.

MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIR OF THE BACHELOR OF MUSIC PROGRAMME
Congratulations on your successful audition for the PGVIM 2021 academic year. I would like to welcome you to the Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music—your home for the next few years as you take your rst step into a professional music career. From your audition videos and examinations, I know that each of you is unique, with individual musical experiences and backgrounds. Wherever you come from, however, we share the love of music. Unfortunately, we also share our experiences of facing a dangerous disease, which has been ongoing for almost two years. There is no better lesson than this to demonstrate that the outside world still plays a big role in the musical world. Luckily, we musicians can also in uence the world at large, making it a better place for everyone. At PGVIM, you will learn not only how to be an excellent musician but also how your art can help in shaping the society you live in. I wish you all the best during your stay at our School. Have a wonderful time learning, playing, and discovering. Once again, welcome to PGVIM.

Princess Galyani Vadhana International Music Festival was inaugurated in 2020 as part of a new project initiative by Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music to continue its mission in realising Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana’s vision to promote and support classical music in Thailand. The second edition of the festival is part of a threeyear plan to celebrate the centennial anniversary of Princess Galyani Vadhana in 2023 by being an international stage for classical music performance. Furthermore, the festival aims to support musicians and artists by providing platforms to show their creativity and challenging them to be more proactive in promoting their works to Thai society. In order to achieve an ecosystem that supports musical creations, the business model pitching competition seeks ideas from promoters and creators in collaboration with the business sector to ful ll the goal.

The Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music is situated in a vibrant and rich cultural neighbourhood called Bang Yi Khan. Located next to the Chao Phraya River on Thonburi, it is a short distance to major cultural and historical heritage sites in Bangkok such as the Grand Palace, Sanam Luang, National Theatre, National Museum, National Library, as well as ‘Khaosan Road’—one of top tourist attractions in Thailand. Moreover, ‘Rama VIII park’, a popular green public space and a rare pocket of quiet in Bangkok, is also right next to the Institute, providing an opportunity for the students to spend their leisure time doing exercise, yoga, or jogging, and also hold informal performances for the local community. Here at PGVIM, our students can enjoy making music within an environment where culture meets nature. Bang Yi Khan District is also full of stories and tales from the past and was a domicile to several important people in Thai history, including several masters of Thai traditional music. The story and history of Bang Yi Khan is well documented by the research team of the Institute and can be seen at the permanent exhibition in the Gita Rajanagarinda Building. The Institute has continuously worked to connect with the community through our unique Education Populaire Project ‘Bang Yi Khan Chorus’, in which students from schools in the surrounding area join the Institute to make music. With ‘Education Populaire,’ faculty, university students, and young children make music together in an environment where no boundaries between people exist.

When you arrive in Thailand, the immigration o cer at the port of entry will place a stamp on your passport for your ED 90-day visa to start. The expiration date will be 90 days after the arrival date stamped on your passport. Thus, you will need to apply for a visa extension.

LIFE IN BANGKOK ABOUT THAILAND1 The Kingdom of Thailand was known as Siam up until 1949. In its shortened form, “Thailand” means “Land of the Free.” Located in the heart of mainland Southeast Asia, Thailand is a country of mountains, hills, plains and a long coastline along the Gulf of Thailand (1,875 km) and the Andaman Sea (740 km), not including the coastlines of some 400 islands, most of them in the Andaman Sea. Its climate ranges from the subtropical to the tropical zones, with three distinct seasons: a hot and dry season from February to May, a monsoon season from June to October, and a cooler dry season from November to January. Average seasonal temperatures vary between a low of 23.0 °C and a high of 38 °C. Thailand is a multi-ethnic nation with a population of 64.1 million. Thai is the national and o cial language, but English is also spoken and understood throughout many parts of Thailand. Bangkok, called Krung Thep (City of Angels) in Thai, is the capital where Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music is located. Fun Fact: The Guiness Book record for the longest city name is Bangkok! Known by locals as Krung Thep, the name is a shortened version of an o cial ceremonial name which reads “Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit.” You can listen to the full name as a song at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5IvwMVo2xs Photo source: UCEAP, University of California https://uceap.universityofcalifornia.edu/

“Wai” The Wai is the most common form of Thai greeting and adheres to strict rules of protocol. It signi es both a sign of respect as well as a greeting which can be made while sitting, walking, or standing. The person who is junior in age or status is the rst one to o er the wai. Wai can be done by raising both hands, palms joined together with ngers pointing upwards as if in prayer, with light touching of the body somewhere between the chest and the forehead. Buddhist Monks Buddhism is the major religion in Thailand. Monks can commonly be seen around PGVIM, as there are at least 4 temples located nearby. “Wai” can be used to give respect to the monk. Body Signi cance Thai people do not like their head to be touched with the exception of close friends and family. On the contrary, feet are considered a dirty item. Thai people do not use feet for any contact or conversational contexts. Please avoid pointing at people or things with your foot, avoid raising them on the table, and remove your shoes when entering someone’s house, some public places, or temples.

GETTING AROUND BANGKOK The closest department stores and supermarkets can be found in Tesco Lotus Pinklao and Central Pinklao, where you can get most things. Downtown Bangkok is about a 20-minute drive from PGVIM. You could also take the MRT from Bang Yi Khan station as well. It is highly recommended to download the “Grab” application on your phone. The application has an option called ‘transport' which is equivalent to Uber. Alternatively, you may wave for a metered taxi on the street. However, you must make sure that the meter is always on and the driver should NOT be bargaining for a set fee. On the other hand, Tuktuk is based purely on a bargain. Beware of being overcharged.
