What 音楽教室講師 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

ピアノ、バイオリン、フルート、ギターなど各種の楽器を自分で演奏できるようになりたい、という人々のために、音楽や楽器の基礎を教える。
 教える内容は、習う人の年齢や目的によって異なるが、それぞれのレベルとニーズに合わせた指導をする。専門とする楽器だけでなく、全体的な音楽的能力も高めるようにする。楽器演奏では、楽譜の見方や楽器の演奏方法から始まり、テンポ、強弱、曲想の練り方まで、きめ細かに指導する。また、音を聞き取り楽譜に書き取る「聴音」の訓練をすることもある。
 幼児には、リズムに合わせて楽器を鳴らしたり、歌ったりすることで音楽の楽しさを体験させながら教えることが多い。幼児の場合は、人間として成長する上で、音楽が大きな影響を及ぼす可能性のあることも踏まえて教える必要がある。
