We have opened a school at Yokosuka Horinouchi!

In our studio, you can learn languages and music at the same time!
We have English, Korean, Japanese, and Russian instructors. Classes are for all levels.
We have piano, accordion, violin, guitar, bass, clarinet, trombone, saxophone, and composing for our music lessons.

We have group lessons too. Of course, with a parking lot.
It's only 15 minutes drive from the Yokosuka navy main gate, and by walking, it's 8 minutes from Horinouchi station. (Keikyu line)

If you are a sailor with your family staying in Japan for only a few years, a sailor family having a hard time looking for an English-speaking music instructor, we are perfect for you.

We also have many rentable instruments and practice rooms for 500yen per hour.
If you have an instrument you want to try but can't afford, try at our place! (we charge some instrument rent fee for the lesson)
