-Summer vacation event familiar with classical music
@Ginza Blossom Central Hall~
This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.♪
The second semester has started in no time.
The summer vacation of my daughter Azuki (small 3) is to camp (5 nights and 6 days) for summer training (2 weeks) and camping (5 nights and 6 days).
You were very busy.
Meanwhile, I participated at the end of summer.
"Events familiar with classical music" at Ginza Blossom Central Hall.
The theme this time is "Japanese musical instruments".
At the time of the festival, there are times when riding a float and hitting a drum.
I don't have a chance to get in touch.
That's right. I was looking forward to both my parents and children and headed to the venue!
Powerful performance of everyone of "Kaze no Kaze"!
It was "Maga no Kaze" who performed on the day.
All members are talented groups who have won prizes, including the highest award in the Japanese musical instrument contest.
He has been active both in Japan and overseas, including numerous events, TV appearances, and school performances nationwide.
(If you are on Instagram, please take a look.)
What did you play?
From traditional Japanese melodies such as "Sakura Sakura" and "Kochirico-bushi".
Even J-POP songs that children know well, such as "Idol" and "New Age".
A wide range of repertoire songs.
That song will be like this! I was able to enjoy it with a surprise.
Introducing musical instruments and experiences!
In the middle of the meeting, there was a time to introduce Japanese musical instruments.
There was also a time for children to experience musical instruments.
wadaiko in a bite.
There are many types, such as "Nagato Taiko", "Tatsu Taiko", and "Oke Taiko".
The sound is very different depending on the size.
And the most surprising thing was the shakuhachi!
4 holes in the front and 1 hole in the back.
Azuki started learning recorders at school this year.
The number of holes is much smaller than that.
You can freely control the pitch and tone with how you breathe and play it.
I was told that it was a very deep and attractive instrument!
Azuki also played a basic rhythm in wadaiko.
The encore was excited by clapping with everyone at the venue.
I was able to spend time like a summer festival.
Actually, after this, I consulted with the piano teacher I am learning.
As a theme song for the contest to challenge the winter
Azuki chose a Japanese-style melody stand out.
I hope the experience of this day will be used in future performances...
It was my mother who thought about it.
