[今週のマテリアル]
≪FIRST HALF≫
If my memory is correct, I got to know about music maybe when I was in kindergarten, and after that time, I usually was listening mostly the music instructed by parents. However, after elementary school, many music were introduced by my friends and teachers. I had a lot of chances to endeavour many kinds of music I never know.
After that I could not live without music, anytime Music is always together with me, and make me happy by listening it. But why music has so much power? We would like to discuss this power of music today and enjoy it!!
