[Event to be experienced] Nagauta and Nagauta shamisen tea ceremony [Number of times a participant experiences the practical skills (including recitals and rehearsals)] Nagauta: 4 times Tea ceremony: 3 times [Name of main instructor] Nagauta: Katsushiju KINEYA Tea ceremony: Munemichi TAKEI [Feature of the project] Nagauta: This program allows participants to learn both singing and shamisen at the same time, and to experience "sing while listening to the shamisen" which is a characteristic of Nagauta. This time, the theme is the song "Hana ni Asobaba" (Playing with Flowers), and the music score is used so that even those who have no musical or musical experience can understand it intuitively. Tea Ceremony: By not only mastering tea ceremony, but also experiencing the effects of tea and the cultural aspects of its history, even beginners can engage in it with a sense of understanding. In addition, to make the tea ceremony more familiar, tea ceremony is taught based on chabon tea ceremony, which is easy to practice at home. [Efforts for publicity at the time of recruitment of participants (cooperation, cooperation, network, etc.)] Posting SNS advertisement to transfer to the application form (Facebook and Instagram advertisement) and posting on the official website. [Devise to enable participants to continue practical experience (other than the subsidized project) after the completion of the project] After the experience program, the location, time, and price of the program will be clearly explained, and the instructor will guide the participants to private lessons. In addition, by asking them to answer the questionnaire and hearing whether they want to continue in the future or not, the hurdle such as "I want to learn, but I don't know how to ask." or "there is something I want to ask but it is difficult to ask" will be lowered, and the environment where those who want to continue can be continued will be created.
