Hello :-D
I don’t know if you all know, but I am studying
music composition at a graduate school here in Japan.
I am in my second year, so I have to write a lot of music;
I also have to write my dissertation in Japanese.

A few weeks ago I had my first concert at my school.
It was a kind of composition workshop(作品発表会);
so many students who study composition have
the chance to have their music performed.
All of the students were using western instruments
in their compositions; however, my piece was very different.
I am very interested in Japanese traditional music,
so I wanted to use traditional Japanese instruments in my composition.
The piece I had performed was called 無常, and
it included the shakuhachi and the shimedaiko.

western instruments 西洋楽器
piece 曲、作品

I was very nervous before the performance,
but it went really well!
I was very lucky because a famous shakuhachi player
who teaches at my school agreed to play my music,
so he was able to play the piece very well.
Also, the other performers did an amazing job.
I was very proud of them.
Now I am writing my next piece.
I will be using the Japanese mouth organ (笙) and koto- wish me luck!!
