[Features of the Project] As a subject piece, I will work on performing the Wakashishikai's original piece "Wakashishi I," which is composed using classical techniques and with a sense of rhythm that is appropriate for today, and is a piece that is familiar to beginners, so that I can learn to enjoy Japanese music as familiar music. The lessons are held at Okadaya Fuse, which also sells musical instruments, and they introduce the musical instruments of hogaku bayashi, and how to choose and purchase musical instruments. In the final performance, the results will be announced during the Wakashishikai live, and you can enjoy the performance with professionals from rehearsal to the actual performance. [Environment for participants to continue practical experience (practice) of traditional performing arts] The instructors (Wakashishi-kai members) have their own practice rooms, so those who wish to continue practice can choose the location and instructor that suits them.
