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 course in scoring for film and multimedia.
Ten students each year are awarded the Princess of Naradhiwas scholarship.
Suryadhep Music Hall was completed in 2015. The hall contains 1,300 seats, innovative sound reflection, and a liftable stage for opera performance.
