Senior International Student
CHO From Korea
Graduated from Bass Course in 2019
My major was bass at ESP Tokyo, and after graduation, 62 credits were evaluated for Senzoku Gakuen College of Music. Because of the relevance of subjects such as music theory and ensembles.
Two years at ESP GAKUEN, such as school festivals and final contests with friends and teachers, are full of really fun memories. I also worked in a band with my friends I met at BAS (Band Artist Station), and this career often leads to great opportunities for me. It is recommended that you also meet a lot of good friends during your school years and experience the music yourself. When you enter ESP GAKUEN, I think you would meet real music.
ZHANG From China
Graduated from Piano Tuning Course in 2021
I used to think if I study piano tuning, Japan is the best place for me. Because, Japan has world-class piano makers such as Yamaha and Kawai. So I came to study in Japan.
ESP GAKUEN is very friendly with foreign students. I was able to understand lessons well even I had no experience about piano tuning. Also I was able to have fun with Japanese classmates during piano company tours. All these cozy environment made me to focus on studying, so I was able to get a job offer from Yamaha Piano before my graduation.
