*What is SORAMI*
Every year, music and entertainment-related occupations rank among the top occupations that elementary, junior high, and high school students want to pursue. While there are many children who attend practical lessons, only a small number actually make a living in the same world.
How successful you can be in a career related to music and
entertainment depends on how you develop the various “skills, knowledge, and personal strengths” needed in each career path, and how you meet “good people” who will serve as your supporters. It depends on whether you are blessed with “connections”.
Furthermore, in learning, it is important that “time”, “money”, and “commitment” are consumed and digested efficiently, but in music and entertainment education, we have a culture where it is taken for granted that these things are required endlessly. exists.
We support the maximization and optimization of these elements through a collaborative approach between humans and technology, and we aim to help everyone who wants to build a career in the world of music and entertainment to study domestically in a variety of ways. Our aim is for these people to be able to earn a living outside the home, and that their presence will help the industry to further prosper and evolve, leading to a more prosperous society.
