Kunitachi College of Music
| Kunitachi College of Music was founded in 1926 as Tokyo Junior College of Music (Tokyo Music Conservatory), and was established anew in 1950 under the postwar education guidelines. It is now located in Tachikawa City, Tokyo. For more than half a century, we have inspired and delivered generations of fine musicians and dedicated educators to the music scene of Japan. As part of our commitment to excellence in music education, Kunitachi endeavors to expand its activities both within Japan and overseas as the regional music cultural hub in the 21st century. |
| Faculty of Music Studies | Students in first and second year at Kunitachi College of Music are matriculated into their respective departments to pursue their compulsory core studies (foundation modules).

| Graduate School | Since its establishment, Kunitachi College of Music has its own unique educational goal, which places great emphasis on music studies from around the world, including that of Asians. In the early days when music universities in Japan too eagerly set their entrance examinations only by western music standard, our entrance examination to Vocal Studies was selected from a Japanese masterpiece. In today’s globalized environment, musicians and composers are required to equip themselves with individuality in their performance or composition, in addition to the internationally recognized techniques and creativities. Even in the field of musicology and music education, it is necessary to nurture high quality researchers who are capable of addressing internationally challenging issues. Having a full awareness of these challenges, we strive to develop the talent and potential of each student as musician, musicologist, music researcher who are capable of independent studies to make contributions to both Japan and the world’s cultural developments. |
