In a delightful rendezvous of melodies and youthful exuberance, Professor Tasaki Noriko from Teikyo University's Faculty of Education orchestrated a participatory concert for the kindergarten children of Kawai Gakuen Tama Kindergarten in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, on Saturday, December 9, 2023.
The concert, divided into an "appreciation" program for listening to music and a "participation" program for hands-on musical enjoyment, marked a significant first for Teikyo University students performing at Tamama Kindergarten. Despite the inevitable challenges of a debut, the students' meticulous preparations paid off as the hall resonated with enchanting tunes, fostering an atmosphere of spontaneity and genuine joy.
The crescendo of the event featured a lively brass band performance that set the room abuzz with rhythmic energy. The children, captivated by the musical spell, joyfully danced, their laughter echoing through the venue. Professor Tasaki Noriko's seminar not only showcased the transformative power of music but also strengthened the connection between university students and their young audience, creating a harmonious symphony of shared experiences and unforgettable moments. This collaboration not only exemplifies Teikyo University's dedication to holistic education but also stands as a testament to the enduring impact of fostering cultural exchanges beyond the traditional boundaries of academia.
