Hi, everyone!

This is an announcement for the practice I will hold on Sep. 21.

Genre: music
Title: Song practice
Contents:
We are going to sing songs whose lyrics are written both in Japanese and English.
I will bring three ukuleles, which I name Ayano, Chinatsu and Gensuke respectively. I will distribute the lyrics and dance illustrations (and perhaps a tablet PC for dance videos) so that you can sing and dance. Whether to sing or dance (or only join the discussion) is voluntary.
First, I will play the ukulele and sing on behalf of you. For two volunteers, I will hand you Ayano and Chinatsu. I will teach them an easy way to play the ukulele. I and the two volunteers will belong to group 0 and the others 1, 2, 3...
After I sing, we will have practice time. Those who know the meanings of the lyrics or how to dance should teach those who don't. We group 0 will visit you and play the ukulele if you need it in your practice.
Finally, group 0 will play the ukulele and others will sing and dance.
I hope you will enjoy singing and dancing.

Regards,
Atsushi Kato
