STUDY
Class flow
*This is an example.
Seiko's relationship with music
Before the demonstrations and lectures, Seiko will explain a little bit about its activities to the children, in particular, to convey the company’s desire to enrich people's lives with time and music.
Artist demonstrations and lectures
Professional performers are the featured instructors. They teach practical skills and convey their passion for music and the importance and joy of hard work, explaining things in a way that only professionals can.
*The popular vocal group Circus takes the stage!
Practicing together with the performers
Students practice together with the artists.
Students are divided into groups according to class content, and learn professional performance and vocal techniques.
Performing and singing choruses together with the artists
The artists will perform together with all the participants. After we all enjoy heartfelt music and try our hand at playing and singing, we will reflect on what we have experienced through music.
VOICE Participants’ Voices
We have received positive feedback from participants.
Student voices
- I was able to interact with artists from another generation, and I realized what a great thing music is.
- At first we were divided into different groups, but then the whole grade came together to sing, and I felt a real sense of unity with my classmates.
- I thought it might be difficult to get everyone to sing together and to sing in unison, so I was really happy to see everyone enjoying themselves.
- This class taught me how much fun music can be.
Teacher’s voice
Thanks to the performers’ skills at teaching, we were able to see students who were initially nervous become lively and truly enjoy the music.
We hope that the students will be able to apply what they have learned here to future school events, such as choral competitions.
