YM MUSIC Contemporary Music AcademyA journey of finding
yourself through music.
Music is a special language for understanding yourself, holding your feelings, and giving the world your own voice. We do our very best to help students express themselves through music by creating songs filled with their own personalities and stories.
Whether you come because you want to sing one favorite song, because you're finally starting the instrument you wished to learn as a child, or because you're aiming for the university and the stage you want — YM MUSIC welcomes every one of those beginnings.
Hobby time is relaxed and enjoyable; time spent preparing for a major and entrance exams is systematic and intense. We design lessons around each student's pace and goals.
In contemporary music entrance prep especially, we have built a steady record of results, and many students have been admitted to the universities they aimed for with us. But it always began the same way — with a love of music.
Start with YM MUSIC. We share this moment of writing melodies together so that your own sound can light up the world.

Whether you're fine with not being good yet or have a clear goal — YM MUSIC has a path for each of you.
For fun, at easeFor Everyday Joy
It's fine not to be good yet. One favorite song or one instrument you've always wanted to learn is enough. We create time to enjoy music at your own pace, with no pressure.
