The Showa University of Music, the Showa Graduate School of Music and the Showa College of Music are part of the Tosei Gakuen Educational Foundation. Our conservatoire is renowned for its forward-thinking in music education. The founder Keisuke Shimoyakawa, an influential Bass who contributed not only to the establishment of the oldest existing opera company in Japan “The Fujiwara Opera”, s...tarted a specialised opera training institution “ The Tokyo Seisen Music School” in 1940. Through its history, the school has evolved into a music conservatoire covering from traditional western classical music, musical theater, ballet to popular and jazz music. As one of the first music conservatoire in Japan to start courses such as music therapy, arts management, stage staff and ballet, our role is clear. As the pioneer in the Japanese music education, we are responsible for looking beyond the future and to open up the possibilities for our students.
We are located in a town of Shin-Yurigaoka just outside central Tokyo. Shin-Yurigaoka is a vibrant town with its own annual music and art festivals ranging from classical music, ballet, and a traditional Japanese theater to jazz. Within this rich cultural location you will be guided by our teams of faculty to realise and reach your full potential to lead the industry and the society.
