Broadening the potentials of musical expressions for the next generation with new sensibilities

The Music and Acoustics Design Program provides necessary knowledge under the instruction of expert instructors, comprised primarily of computer use that is essential for music production of the modern times, with three broad categories of “Music Arrangement”, “Acoustic Technology” and “Media Contents”. Students may concentrate on specializing in one field or can gain a well-balanced learning of multiple fields, but at any rate, it is important for them to gain a proper education of the field they are most interested in.
　The necessary curriculum and substantial environment are available in response to such desires as “composing music for movies and dramas”, “provide music by composing vocal music”, “become a recording engineer”, “become a PA engineer”, “become a media content producer” or “work in music and film related occupations”, with means devised for outcomes in short periods of time. A curriculum can also be freely organized to suit the objectives of individuals and lessons can be taken according to the intentions of the students.
　Everything that is learned here is beneficial and will all definitely play a positive role in the future.
