The “South African Conservatorium of Music”, as the Department was then known, was founded in 1905 by Friedrich Wilhelm Jannasch, Hans Endler and several other renowned musicians. Initially, the Conservatoire was run as a private institution and focused on the training of music teachers and church organists. In 1934 it was taken over by Stellenbosch University and from then on it became a fully-fledged university department with an ever widening scope of musical training, performance activities and research.
