Welcome to Tokyo Pulse
Tokyo Pulse is a modern, international music community where people of all levels come together to learn, play, and grow through music.
Inspired by a desire to move beyond traditional, rigid models of music education, Tokyo Pulse was created to fill a gap: the need for a supportive, performance-based, and community-driven learning space that reflects both global values and the local energy of Tokyo. From beginners to professionals and music educators, everyone of all ages is welcome.
Our mission
To empower people to find their own musical voice and connect through collaboration, creativity, and real-world experience, in a multilingual, inclusive environment that feels like home.
What makes us different?
Tokyo Pulse is different from other music schools.
Instead of students and teachers, we have learners and mentors.
Music can’t be taught. It’s experienced. Lived. And most importantly, shared.
Mentors are all professional musicians with a wealth of touring experience.
They are here to guide you on your path to self expression.
Joining Tokyo Pulse is becoming a member of a community of music lovers on their journey to develop their musical voice and share it to the world, all while supporting inspiring musicians.
Explore your musical path with us.
