The Osaka
College of Music celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2005. Osaka has long
been a key economic city responsible for Japanfs prosperity, as well as
a vibrant cultural city harnessing a wealth of mass culture and unique fine
arts. In such an historical environment, the Osaka College of Music has
made tremendous efforts in the education and research of Western music,
while protecting the music unique to Japan (ghogakuh), as one of the longest
established music colleges in Japan. Currently, some 1,368 students study
at the Junior College of O.C.M., the Osaka College of Music, and the Graduate
School of O.C.M. combined. Our facilities include
The College Opera House. No other Japanese college has a complete opera
house with a resident professional orchestra and choir.
We host a large number of concerts every year, offering
plenty of opportunities for students to express themselves.
We organize a wide variety of special lectures and open
lessons, featuring our brilliant professors and even top musicians and
researchers invited from other parts of the country and from overseas.
We also provide financial assistance to enthusiastic
students who are eager to learn music through our unique scholarship program.
