Welcome to Birdsong Kyoto.
English and music time, to enjoy together.
Sing, move, and connect — a musical home for families, born here in Kyoto.
An officially licensed Music Together® program, loved by families worldwide.
Out of respect for every child’s privacy, we tell our story through illustration rather than photographs.
A gentle place to grow together
Absorbing English naturally
Within song and rhythm, the sounds and words of English reach the ear gently — never drilled, always natural.
A place for parents, too
Meet families in the same season of life — a warm community that becomes your ibasho.
Connection over perfection
You need not sing well. For your child, music time with you is the greatest treasure.
Music is a language we are all born with.
Birdsong Kyoto is a parent-and-child program based on the Music Together® curriculum. In our mixed-age classes, children from birth to five share one room and enjoy music at their own pace — wrapped in English song, growing rich time together as a family.
