Music is a diverse and enriching field of study that offers a wide range of disciplines and specializations.

non-Japanese applicants must have completed 12 years of education in their home country and be recognized by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. They must also possess the necessary Japanese language skills to attend classes with Japanese students. Additionally, having participated in a study abroad program or passing a Japanese language proficiency exam can also be
advantageous.The application process typically requires the submission of various documents, including a personal statement, graduation certificate, academic transcripts, and letters of recommendation from high school principals or teachers. Furthermore, applicants may need to provide their scores from the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) or the Jap
anese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). Additionally, showcasing one's musical works and compositions is also a crucial part of the application.The selection process for music programs often involves multiple stages. As an example, for composition majors, the first stage may include document screening, where the application materials and Japanese language proficiency are reviewed. In the second
stage, applicants may be required to demonstrate their musical skills and knowledge through a practical examination and oral interview. This could involve submitting sheet music of two different original compositions or uploading a piece of their own music to platforms like SoundCloud and providing the link via email. The duration of the composition should not exceed 7 minutes.Once the applicati
on and selection process is complete, there are various fees that need to be considered. These include the entrance fee, which is typically around 300,000 yen, and the annual tuition fee, which can range from 850,000 yen to 1,000,000 yen. However, there are also scholarship opportunities available for international students, such as those offered by the Japan Student Services Organization, the Jod
o Shinshu Otani-ha Foundation for Education, and various local government and private organizations. Additionally, some universities may have special programs for outstanding students.Studying music in Japan can be a rewarding experience, offering a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a rich and vibrant musical culture. It not only provides students with the technical skills and knowledge n
eeded to excel in their chosen field but also fosters creativity, collaboration, and a deeper appreciation for the art of music.
