The Tokyo School of Music and Dance has established long-standing relationships in the industry and actively connects its students to industry professionals.

In particular, TSM organizes auditions in-house where many industry professionals attend. This provides students not only with real-world experience, but also the opportunity to become recognized. This leads to direct interviews and opportunities.

Leading up to this, TSM supports students with training for the audition and interview, so that students know what is needed for their debut, and know how to appeal to a wide range of people.

The instructors at TSM are highly qualified professionals with extensive experience and who are active members in well-established bands or well-known artists.

“W Major Curriculum” is a school policy which gives students the ability to choose classes outside of the program that they decided at the time of admission as well as change majors in order that students can explore different areas and ultimately become more well-rounded artists & performers in the future.

The school believes firmly in the development of practical skills that are actually needed in the real world.

Within the program, students receive interview and audition training sessions, portfolio building workshops, and real-life practicums.

Moreover, outside of the program, students have access to admin support for any concerns about their program or classes, as well as career counselling, where qualified staff guide you to find your way in the world as an artist.
