The song “APT” by ROSÉ & Bruno Mars that was requested by members.
As expected, popular songs seem to be absorbed quickly, and we were able to perform it together right away. Especially children in 3rd grade and above are showing remarkable growth, with some playing slowly but steadily even at first sight.
I’m sharing a comic that was published on social media that made me nod in agreement(Sorry, only in Japanese).
For improving with musical instruments, the habit of regularly touching the instrument is essential, but the mistake is making children feel “I must practice” as a responsibility. People who play instruments daily have songs they want to play or aspirations, and they become absorbed in playing, which results in “practice.”
However, people who vaguely want to play an instrument and impose practice on themselves often give up because they don’t have clear goals for what they want to do with the instrument.
That’s why we ask each member to request songs they want to play, naturally helping them set goals. What’s important is not practicing, but encountering music that moves them. If they have desires, they will naturally start practicing without being told.
I want to continue supporting them in becoming independent this way.
