10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

In addition to each class and club preparing their own attractions for the school festival, aren’t there also schools that hold special events organized by the student council?

That said, coming up with plans that students and visitors will truly enjoy can be quite a challenge.

So in this article, we’ll introduce recommended ideas for student council-led projects at school festivals!

We’ve gathered a variety of ideas, including decorations to brighten up the venue, recreational activities and games everyone can join, and stage events led by student council officers.

There are also school-wide ideas that only the student council can pull off, so be sure to use these as a reference.

folk dance

A folk dance where you pair up in twos and dance to music.

Since it involves holding hands, it could be a heart-pounding event for anyone who has a crush in the class.

How about incorporating such a folk dance into your school festival, especially the after-party? It’s perfect for everyone to relax and enjoy a friendly time together after all the events and performances are over.

If you can get permission from the school, gather around a campfire.

Let’s bring the festival to a warm, heartfelt close.

A school festival is a special event that only happens once a year, right? If you’re wondering what to put on, we recommend producing a theme song for the festival! It’s not just for the music club or light music club—planning it with your class or the organizing committee is great, too.

Just imagining what kind of melody and lyrics it will have is enough to make your heart race, isn’t it?

Chorus of Souls

[Moving] Sangoku High School’s Soulful Chorus “Seikai” by RADWIMPS – Culture Festival 2024

Chorus of Souls

Stirring and moving! Here are some ideas for a soul-stirring choral performance.

When it comes to choir, there are various types like mixed chorus, male chorus, and female chorus.

The appeal will differ depending on the songs you want to sing and the makeup of your members.

Why not take this once-a-year opportunity at the school festival to move the audience with perfectly synchronized voices? In the video, two students sing the main parts while the rest perform in a chorus-like structure.

Try incorporating this while exploring a configuration that suits your group.

Acrobatic performance

Acrobatic performances, where physical ability really matters, would look so cool if you could showcase them at a school festival.

These performances often combine gymnastics and dance, and when they succeed, the crowd gets really fired up.

Performing with multiple people can refine the act even more, allowing for complex formations and adding depth to the expression.

When deciding the flow of the performance, choosing a story or theme and discussing it together as a group might further improve your performance as a team and strengthen your bond.
