Event features
The instructors for each instrument are all active performers with long teaching careers and proven activities. Therefore, they could prepare various demo performances. Participants could touch the live performance and receive direct guidance while imagining their own goal.
Since the instructors are members of the same ensemble unit, each class (instrument) will remain close. Therefore, participants could perform ensemble with other instruments at the final session. In addition, the instructors will also participate in the same session. Participants could fully experience their achievements during the course.
The course will be supported by the instructors based on the number of participants. Therefore, all participants could receive have pretty much experienced guidance, in spite of being group lessons.

Participants will be recruited from social networking posts and advertisements.

Request for cooperation in spreading information to current students.

Ways to enable participants to continue with practical skills experience (other than programs covered by this grant) after the end of the event
This course is a 7-month course. This is the third term of the program, and there are already a number of continuing students enrolled.
Beginning with the third term, the course will be divided into two classes, a beginners’ course and an experienced course. Beginners will be able to continue taking the continuing course after completing this course. It is also possible to change the instrument to be taken as a beginner course at that time.
For those who wish to study more privately, all instructors also have private classes, so it is possible to take one-time or ongoing lessons with a variety of instructors for supplementary or additional training.
