About My Club


   I am a member of a brass band club in Hirosaki University, and I play the Euphonium.

     This club is active whole year. In summer, some of us practice for contests, the others often visit and perform, because we are requested it in some festivals or something. In winter, we have ensemble contests and a Regular Concert. The Regular Concert is a good chance almost all of the member play together and we are listened a large audience, so I am looking forward to playing there.

This club works a little busy, but I do not care, because I love music!

Flute,Wind Orchestra, Subscription Concert



Flute is one of the woodwind instruments made from wood. But Flute that people often see are made from silver.(Some flute are made from gold,platinum,and wood.) The origin of flute is instrument called Flauto Traverso. "Flauto" means a pipe and "Traverso" means a side. This was made in baloque. At the time,it is made from wood. As the times changed and it changed. The flute was made of silver in 1847. As a result, flute was the current form. ( Of couse, the flute I blowing is it too.)


Wind Orchestra is music that people play wind instrument -for example,flute,clarinet,trumpet,and so on- and percussion. General to speaking, it is said Brass Band. But it is not correct because Brass Band is composed of the brasses like trumpet without the woodwind instrument. I want everyone not to mistake.m(_ _)m


By the way, I join the wind orchestra club in Hirosaki university.I play the flute and piccolo. Recently,we practice very hard for subscription concert. The concert will be held in hirosaki citizen hall on December 17. We are going to play contest music, others classic,and pops. Admission is 500 yen. I want to play to impress you. We together look forward to you.
