学習・教育到達度目標 (A) （共生に配慮できる豊かな人間性）

Teaching Method

Outline:

To know the joy of expressing yourself through music.Experience not only disposable music, but also genuine “music” that has survived times regardless of its eastern or western origins .

Style:

Pratical classes of music expression.

Notice:

Some texts and songs are difficult to play. The student will not earn a sense of accomplishment without careful and serious practice. Also, since this course deals with “sound”, refrain from unnecessary private talk. Prepare recorders flouts(all) and pianica flouts (for those who have it). Only 8 absences will be excused. Practical experience: the instructure is a experienced vocalist. She has co-starred in recitals and orchestras in Japan and overseas, and can use her experience to teach students with specific and up-to-date information on music.
