If you don't feel like taking lessons yet, you can also listen to the lessons.There is so much you can learn not only by playing yourself, but also by watching other people's lessons.In fact, many students in Europe study by auditing.It is also a chance to listen to many other people's performances, and through lessons with various people, you will gain a better understanding of the teacher's teaching methods and personality.If you play an instrument other than the bassoon, please feel free to join us so you can experience the atmosphere of classes overseas.The teaching methods of professors overseas are completely different from those in Japan.In particular, the main focus is on ``enjoying and expressing music even more,'' so the points we teach vary from student to student.Isn't it a big point for those who are aiming to study abroad or become professionals in the future to experience for themselves how the teaching methods differ from those in Japan?If you want to succeed overseas, this will be a good opportunity to consider studying abroad.
If you are thinking of studying in Germany or other European countries, you will be able to study abroad on a trial basis while staying in Japan.Consider the possibility of studying in Europe.
It's a great chance to meet an overseas teacher while you are in Japan!
Just thinking does not open the door to your dreams. There is only action. Don't miss this opportunity!
