[[File:Tokyosymphonyhall.jpg|right|thumb|320px|The Symphony Hall of the Tokyo Music School]]
*''Founded: [[1879]]''
*''Japanese'': 東京音楽学校 ''(Toukyou ongaku gakkou)''
The Tokyo Music School was the first music school officially sponsored by the [[Meiji government]].
It started out in [[1879]] as the Music Study Committee (''Ongaku torishirabe-gakari''), and later developed into a full school, the ''Tôkyô ongaku gakkô''. The Symphony Hall (''sôgakudô'') was built in [[1890]] to serve as the main building of the school; designed by [[Yamaguchi Hanroku]] and [[Kuru Masamichi]], it was the full-scale modern/Western-style music hall in the country.
The school was later absorbed into the [[Tokyo University of the Arts]] (''Geidai''). The Symphony Hall (''sôgakudô'') fell into disrepair, but was restored in 1987, and has been designated an [[Important Cultural Property]]. The restoration efforts included the repair of Japan's only pneumatic pipe organ.
