Japan Band Festival: Nakagurose Elementary School

[@richneumann9516]

I replayed this video with my eyes shut. Believe me, I would never be able to explain that this was an ELEMENTARY school musical unit I was listening to! What difference between the Japanese culture and ours. Awesome!

[@meguchan5814]

Now i understand why kyoto tachibana and other japanese band was so good

[@stummkind]

why though?

[@VALAREZ]

@@stummkind I guess cause they've all likely been laying at a high level since they were kids. I've seen many a western world adult band with less discipline and worse sound quality than this. I figured, maybe some of the highscool kids just picked up an instrument when they got to the school cause the bad was popular..................unlikely, the choreography is probably a bigger challenge for them than the music by the time they get there.

[@mcargina1]

Music is part of their academic curriculum, you have to pass it to pass. From pre school to high school. Every Japanese know how to read notes even the blind!!

[@bigx9963]

They start young. Very impressive.

[@user-ui3mk9dt2q]

There are few elementary schools which have music band like this. So, most of students who want to play the instruments start when they are junior high school students or high school students.

[@thomaslapsley7867]

Thomas Lapsley 1 second ago Sadako's Hiroshima friends from all over the world approve this song and are proud of Hiroshima and the origami crane club for promoting world peace for all the children of the world.

[@alistairstuart1963]

If you start by teaching a child the principles of discipline, dedication, and determination, they start life with the three main tools that will benefit them throughout their lives. The wonderful people of Japan have known and proven this throughout their glorious history and this video is a sample of it on display. A "Great Job" by these wonderful children. God bless the children and God bless the nation of Japan. And just for the record, I am an American who speaks and respects "truth."

[@wave8359]

uhmm,,,,,,NOT all of their history was "glorious"...............

[@johnpierre3255]

They are purging their inglorious past.Tachibana leads the way.

[@TheLocoUnion]

Nobody’s history is all glorious.

[@chopinfrederic5040]

Everyone here is an adult already... how time flies

[@braintreecat]

It is obvious that this happens because of many factors coming together. Excellent instructors, supportive parents, a school system that supports and encourages it's students , the cultural dedication these young people have in their lives-not just for the music but for learning in general. There's a lesson to be learned here America- it's not just sports that nedd to be supported in our schools. Show this video to our youn students as an example of what can be accomplished if all the factors are put in place. Bravo to this fine band.

[@r01dtox15]

Here's how they look when they get to High School. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGbNmZWIe5eijqs kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGGQYYqHmLudrNU kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZqaYmismN2noaM

[@JustClaude13]

My word! That soprano sax is almost as tall as the player! They worked hard to achieve that quality at that age. My compliments!

[@francesconoce3056]

There is no difference in talent in each country . People are all over the world the same . But there is a BIG difference in culture and in the music department Japan kicks our asses . Nothing to be ashamed of . just enjoy their dedication and music . That is what i do .

[@TasmaBaton]

Simply great! What kind of a jerk could give those kids a thumbs down?? Really?? They were awesome and I guess thumbs down folks are jealous

[@BazColne]

Whoever tutored this group of musicians must be very pleased by the results.

[@sippysippymcjesus9172]

These kids are amazing! If I showed this to our 7th grade band, their jaws would be to the ground.

[@derrickmcmillian563]

This is too cute. Not only that, but to see such a young group perform this well is amazing.

[@derrickmcmillian563]

What 11 people disliked this video... :/

[@defunctuser8281]

+Derrick McMillian People jealous of their amazing skill.

[@volcommaner]

I actually cried for the first time in 10 years..! I absolutely loved this song with all my heart. It was truely heart-warming that if I was at war and these kids played a song for me before I died my deepest regret would be that I could never listen to them again! Ii applaud your excelent form and professionality. Great job.

[@creativo99]

Many compliments to this performance of my composition Concerto d'Amore. Impressing!!

[@oskarv55]

So beautiful, so haunting ...uplifts my soul! Thank you very much for your composition. I will ask my grandson who just joined the Marines now beginning his study at Naval School of Music to play this for me. I like it so much.

[@javiercontreras2358]

Bravo, maestro. And superb version, indeed.

[@pelussoso]

Much Love & Respect!

[@0yyyyy-9]

This school definitely uses it every year for regular concerts, marching competitions, etc.! I am also in this video. I love this song!

[@davewhiteside6698]

If I hadn't have seen this with my own eyes, I'd never have believed that such a high standard of discipline and musicianship, came from little ones of such a young age. I am truly amazed! I hope those young ones go on in their love for brass band music. And I wish them all, well for the future. You are a credit to your family, to your school and to your country.

[@littlebritain64]

Even very young japanese musician are so talented! Good luck to all of them!!👍

[@alistairstuart1963]

I often visit this page just for the promise of hope that the music in the world will never die. These talented young people are that hope.

[@平山良昭]

今日も拝見しました😊何回見ても、聴いても飽きません❗️毎回、感動します😍😍👍

[@nowar458]

Amazing musicians for Elementary. Performs & Sound better than majority of US high school bands.

[@richardlong3745]

Wow, outstanding band and their just elementary students.

[@dunruden9720]

they are...they're

[@alvinwilliams9856]

Absolutely wonderful, it the level at which they perform, the quality of which is that of many much older musicians and bands around the world. A truly most excellent performance.

[@georgewells5322]

OH MY GOD!!! I can,t believe how good these youngsters are, WOW!!!😃😃😃

[@megan8271]

Dang I started in band when I was 11 and these kids are probably like 8 and are already so much better than me and I’ve already been playing for 7 years.

[@philmeekings9425]

Thank you Japan. Thank you for the music for giving it to me. There's a song there somewhere. You teach the children so young that they become brilliant musicians. Music will never die. Thank you again 👍👏👏

[@JorgeGarcia-so9ku]

Japan chlidren well interpretations...Yamaha so beautifull...

[@robertshrewsbury4241]

What nice sound they are making. It transcends languages.

[@Ghostfunkable]

What a great music program and such talent! It all starts early for the High School bands.

[@r01dtox15]

Some of those kids will grow-up to be kindergarten teachers... And start to teach their pupils to do some -disturbing- wonderful things. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4XYnqN9ad9psJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/iabEaKhmmdFprrc

[@MegaDorkface]

OH MY GOSH!!!! They are AMAZING!!! The're better than my school's band and we're the Middle School symphonic band! and they're elementary! the trumpet players could kick my butt in a playing comp! their tone quality is AMAZING!!!!!

[@fundnn5074]

音楽も演奏も印象的でまた来てしまいました。

[@MrCervuselaphus]

what polished performers! There must be a lot of proud Mums and Dads there well done all.

[@skadaaskadeen]

Now this, Is why I admire Japan

[@marilynscott2662]

Not only are these kids clever at music.they are cute too!

[@alvinwilliams9856]

A marvelous performance, theses young people show great potential for their future as top-notch musicians

[@jaycooper2624]

I am absolutely blown away,these kids are wonderful!! Given that this video is over 10 years old I hope that many of these gifted youngsters have gone on to a fruitful career in music - they certainly deserve it.

[@peterlutz7191]

OMG and these are Elementary School children! If they have this much talent now, wait until they're older! Awesome kids!

[@wiljam2]

well.... then they go Kyoto Tachibana....

[@bravomusicincmovie]

Yes, actually. Grades 4, 5 and 6. There are many such bands in Japan, and younger schools (primary, kindergarten) will have small instrument bands such as percussion, melodicas, recorders, etc., whatever configuration motivated teachers and students wish to create. It is all voluntary and non-curricular.

[@imgg100]

あ〜ら、やわらかく管楽器をまるで弦楽器のように鳴らせるなんて信じられない・素晴らしい！！

[@billyadair3795]

Without knowing, from the sound, you would that to be a college band!🎸🎹🎷🎺

[@lyd806]

Some college bands don’t sound this good 🤣

[@Mario-yq9bp]

Those children are really very good. I love the song and I can't get it out of my mind anymore :-)

[@trumpetmano]

Very, very good for Elementary level musicianship. Excellent.

[@BillBenzon]

I love how utterly serious and, well, noble the musicians are.

[@biker66ton]

So young, and already such good musicians, high level. I love it. This is making music on level.

[@BillBenzon]

Yes, huge props to the girl playing soprano. Good tone and in tune.

[@alistairstuart1963]

These young children are Awesome musicians

[@alistairstuart1963]

Amazing Elementary Band, very well taught musicians. Most impressive. Simply incredible.

[@AmazingErrChannel]

This seems like a marching band, they march and do visual performances and they’re so good. I can’t believe that this is an elementary school. In America, elementary school bands are nowhere near the quality of this band.

[@Ackchyually]

Beautiful

[@space5776]

Amazing !!!

[@Grazziela44]

I'm going to cry. I've been playing trombone since I was ten and can't believe our schools in California have eliminated music programs altogether....what our kids are missing out on......this is beautiful!

[@pelussoso]

Composición de "Jacob de Haan" Concerto d'amore. Exelente ejecución de esta banda Lo disfruto desde México!

[@TheSkunk1996]

Japan you guys sound real awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@abigailgregoire6388]

It's just so amazing that these kids that are in elementary and memorize this stuff and play the notes clear and on time! It just amazes me, like I mean I'm in band but haven't even got good until 7th and 8th grade and I started in 6th grade. And to be a pro like that, JEEZ! Like for me high school band freshman year your now learning to play your instrument and go to different positions at the same time! I'm just suprised!

[@Dld1985]

Discipline and dedication.

[@kendean5058]

Marvelous performances

[@alistairstuart1963]

Excellently performed, The quality of the musicianship of these young people is stunning. My congratulations to the student, the parents, and the teachers, for these young people to be playing at such an accomplished level at their age is simply amazing. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@altanoa]

WOW!!! So young but so good!!!

[@rebelynescobar]

new friend here watching from USA

[@daniloesp2010]

this is an excellent band, they performed amazingly

[@LaceyWright98]

Good tone quality, sound, marching.....everything! :)

[@milagroslestones2175]

it is a missing in to your heart i love you japan ..

[@kiyari817]

They are so cute!! And they play so well too!!

[@mziroe]

Then in my band we are figuring out how to play a Concert Bb major scale, this is our "advanced symphonic band" in middle school with a new band teacher.... The new teacher takes like 30 minutes explaining what we are doing...

[@FrankDeFelicecasan]

Awesome band and the director too!!

[@wilsonkm]

So I was rehearsing my alma mater high school band who didn't even know their scales (wind ensemble). That was sad. At the start of this video, this was the greatest sounding band I've heard all day. I'm going to Japan.

[@Dragontrumpetare]

THis was so darn cute.... and sounding really good. :-)

[@playonkorg]

This is great , I like the disipline and timings, well done . Grtz from Holland

[@burleybater]

These kids are incredible. They have me asking the obvious question. How many of them will grow up to become professional musicians? And if this is how it is at elementary level, what are the standards like at the top?

[@optelwb]

see this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWTUqWZmhcZlkNU

[@shoji9658]

@@optelwb KT is not top of Japan. Their marching level is very low.

[@optelwb]

@@shoji9658 And what is top. Could you propose something?!

[@pattomuso]

Great to see so many young girls on brass!!

[@jjcs1381]

The real deal!! Think we can all take a lesson from the youngsters from Japan.

[@kneamo]

[@davidhoult4653]

Same here in UK this band are showing us what we all wished our kids were doing. Not what they are doing here. Credit to school discipline and the kids for devotion. They are brilliant musicians and performers. Well done👌🥇

[@alistairstuart1963]

A Great Performance, very clean.

[@BlindNovaAsian]

I just LOVE this! And the singing part was adorable!

Very professional, great music, exceptional timing and movement ~ I am so happy I arrived here, strangely enough after watching an instructional video on attaching midi leads to instruments!!

Enjoy the journey ;)!! more will come !! *Much love and wishes

[@doko1900]

Fantastic !!! Congratulation !!!

[@roberthager9573]

Cannot even imagine elementary kids in the USA doing this

[@Ninjapants237]

Robert Hager It matters how early the young musicians began! Then of course US kids could do it, if they put their minds to it and tried.

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

In the U.S. funding has been drastically cut to the arts. They are considered unimportant. So, music and art appreciation as well as music and art classes have been dropped from the curriculum. When music was required there was a lot better music available to the public and especially to young people. This is amazing for grade and middle school students.

[@NickJay]

OR UK, Robert. And whilst what Alex said is undoubtedly true, too, I bet Japanese kids don't spend all their free time playing on mobile phones either!

[@larryrucker]

@51HankySpanky Are you so stupid as to think the reason our schools are failing is because of guns. I have seen leftist idiocy, but you define the top echelon of derangement with statements like that. DUH!

[@icgaming4508]

No the question is can they be better than blue devils

[@onehandcowboy]

so young and so much talent. Simon Cowell would say "Now that is absolutely brilliant" :) Well done

[@DanS24106]

This elementary band is better than 80% of the high school bands in the US.
