＜What is The Improvisation Tasting Party ？＞
This is an experiential program based on a game invented by guitarist Hirofumi Okamoto that focuses on jazz standards. By making sounds in groups, participants can "make it sound jazzy that very same day." It's an innovative program that is open to beginners, but can also be enjoyed by those with considerable experience.
＜It doesn't matter if you have technique or not. Our concept is＞
We believe that humans have an instinct to give meaning to regular changes in frequency. Language is a prime example. For example, we don't study our native language to be able to speak it. We are simply born into it and thrown into a community that basically uses it. We thought that our activities could be similar in the area of "music."So we started an experiment where we provided a space for people of all ages, from beginners to experienced people, to start by making sounds together, following the rules of the game.
＜It has an immediate effect and makes it clear what you need to do.＞
The program has been refined by the participants, with some participants now able to beautifully play pieces that would normally take years to master in just a few months.
