Music Programming Workshop
The participants are first grade students to third grade students
The theme of this workshop is rhythm. First of all, staff explained the basic operation of KAGURA and the creation of rhythm. After that, each of them actually produced music using drum sets and some sound effects. Finally, participants performed with their own works. The two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
