Overview of the Music Education Program

The music culture of today is extremely diverse, encompassing classical music, popular music, Japanese music, and ethnic music, among others. Our society is filled with various types of music. The field of music education is also expanding into multiple areas, including school education, social education, lifelong learning, therapy, and welfare.

The Music Education Program offers a wide range of classes tailored to each student's goals. These include specialized performance techniques (piano, vocal music, instrumental music, composition, and conducting) through individual and group lessons, as well as ensemble practices (choral music, opera, wind instruments, and orchestras). Additionally, the program covers not only school education but also music education classes and workshops that consider lifelong learning, lectures, and workshops on Western and Japanese music. This makes it possible to nurture performers, teachers, and researchers.

After graduation, students can pursue various paths, including becoming performers, advancing to graduate school, becoming university teachers, or finding employment in private companies.
