The Conservatory of Music, Rangsit University or Wittayalaidontri (Thai: วิทยาลัยดนตรี) is a music school in Thailand, along with Duliyasilp College of Music, Duliyangkasilp College, and Silpakorn University. It was established in 2002 by Arthit Ourairat, President of Rangsit University.

The present dean is Denny Euprasert. Wittayalaidontri focuses solely on Western music, especially classical, contemporary and popular music. Wittayalaidontri does not offer Thai music courses. Every freshman must be on the same class and select their major on second year.

History

Prior to the conservatory, a student in Rangsit University could study music as an optional course at the Institute of Cultural Affairs, with Tanet Sriwong and Suwiwat Thitiwattanarat as their teachers.

The Conservatory was established in 2002. Ourairat invited Srikaranonda to act as a temporary dean, while Euprasert, a doctoral student at University of Northern Colorado, had already filled the role.

Initial courses included Composition, Jazz, Performance and Music Production. In 2007, the Conservatory began offering classes in Music Therapy and Music Business. However no students enrolled in these courses. In 2009, Boonrut Sirirattanapan offered a Scoring for Film and Multimedia course.

Ten students each year are awarded the Princess of Naradhiwas scholoarship.

Suryadhep Music Hall was completed in 2015. The hall contains 1,300 seats, innovative sound reflection, and a liftable stage for opera performance.
