Relaxed fit.
Whew! I had a good time these last two weeks. My first spurt of happiness was the realization that I actually went home smiling at the end of the week two Fridays ago because I didn't have class at Toyohama JHS. I was just there, learning a new taiko piece to play with a few of the students in the Culture Festival next Saturday. I was really excited to have a new project, even if I don't have a lot of time to practice with the kids. I'll be heading over to Toyoshima this Monday, Wednesday and Thursday after school to practice with the taiko group, though. It's the home stretch, and I'm fairly ready. Man, I really love taiko. Drumming is so fun--it really gives me a big rush to rhythmically pound something.
I'll also be working percussion on two other songs the students will be performing--I think they're both Simon and Garfunkel instrumentals. "Sound of Silence" and something with "condor" in the title. And (maybe?) "Scarborough Fair." I'll be wind chiming it up on "Scarborough Fair" and hitting the bongos for for the other two pieces. The rhythm for "Sound of Silence" is decided, but Mrs. Nakagami, the Japanese teacher at Toyohama was still thinking thinking about the "condor" song last Thursday.
