An Music School

An Music School (アン・ミュージック・スクール) was a private music school based in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, which was founded in 1967. It was closed on 31 December 2019.

Summary
The year is divided into two semesters. Lesson schedules are tailored to the individual, and school attendance is at the student's own pace and convenience. There is no credit system; after two years of attendance, students receive a graduation certificate. If a student wishes to continue their studies after graduation, they can become a research student at any point after graduation.

Special Features
In the past, An Music School was established as an institution to retrain professionals but it now deals with a broad range of students from beginners to professionals. With individually tailored lesson programs, one-to-one teaching forms the main part of education at the school.

The age of students varies widely and many have jobs or are housewives. The student age bracket is high compared to other music schools because it's common for music college graduates to attend the An Music School.
