The instruction book will include Western music scores, and the school will make Japanese classics familiar. In addition, by clarifying the parts that cannot be written in the score, they will understand the difference between Western music and Japanese music. Lecturers Shiotaka Kazuyuki and Kawakami Ayako (also known as Kanisasare Ayako) collaborate not only with traditional music, but also with other artists. Along with talking about how they are doing it and what kind of attention is necessary, they teach how to put it into practice. You can also see the actual collaboration. Noboru YASUDA (Noh actor) also participated as an instructor. [Environment in which participants can continue hands-on experience (practice) of traditional performing arts] ・ Concretely show how they can learn from this point on for both the biwa and sho. Not only the lecturers, but also various places to learn. ・ At the same time, information on where to have access to biwa and gagaku performances is also conveyed. * By teaching the method and practice of collaboration, each person will be able to perform independently. - There is a possibility of appearing in events sponsored by Tenrai. ・ As for biwa, I am thinking of providing a place to play it.
