I was gonna say muzak, but I don't think that's quite it :x


EDIT: isn't that just called a piano bar/lounge? So it's piano music

That's the best answer I could give. It's obviously jazzy, and some parts lean more towards cool jazz (another part leaned more to the poppy side too), so beyond calling it a "background piano music" I don't think there's more to it genre wise.

It's the same for early Detective Conan soundtrack (and a lot of the Sailor Moon soundtrack) - it sounds jazzy, but they don't really fit into any specific Jazz style.

I'm probably not the best person to ask, since my field of studies never focused on composition. I did begin to compose stuff in my last semester, though, so I think studying music does help. Learning stuff like harmony, counterpoint, arranging, etc. definitely helps me when I try to write stuff, but also participating in ensembles helps me.
As far as learning specific composition skills, there was a composition major in my college, so I'd say it's totally possible to learn composition skills.

I'm guessing Lounge piano music or something along that line.
