| What do you find attractive about the 1st Para International Music Competition that you saw through it?
While the age and genre of music transcended, there was an approach to music that was beyond imagination, which I found truly refreshing.
| How do you see the significance of the competition?
With the goal of performing in front of an audience, I think this will be a good opportunity for me to objectively look at my own performance, which is difficult to achieve only by practicing. I believe that my performance will be affected differently by the audience’s reaction.
| What kind of music appeals to you?
I think music that is conscious not only of the sound emitted from the instruments, but also of how it fills the hall and resonates in the audience’s ears, is appealing.
| What are the key points of the screening process?
Attention to tone and overall composition. Are the details and bird’s-eye viewpoints in a well-balanced musical finish?
| Please give a shout out to those who are considering participating in the Para International Music Competition!
Music starts with playing and enjoying yourself, but the best food for thought is to have people listen to you.
I believe that having as many people as possible listen to your music will give you great strength, so please have the courage to take on this challenge, regardless of whether you win an award!
