Sing!” This was the favorite word of the great Italian opera conductor Alturo Toscanini in orchestra rehearsals. What was Toscanini asking for? This is related to the question: When did humans begin to sing? Why do humans sing? As a vocalist and as a teacher, I had always asked myself this question, because I could not teach what I wanted to teach. Of course, I have had many wonderful and happy experiences with singers. They sing with their own heart, spirit, will and thought. Singing is an expression of the depths of the human mind. What do I want to teach? Singing. Singing comes from within a person. We can sing with a person, but we cannot teach a person to sing. Singing is also telling a story. Telling a story is a part of our humanity. We have a story within us, and we live this story. We sing words, and we think in words. We also have problems with language, especially when we are dealing with Japanese. I had the valuable experience of receiving Sprecherziehung (speech education) dealing with the German language. I would like to apply what I have learned to the Japanese language.}, pages = {29--37}, title = {Cantare! ことばは宿る}, volume = {10}, year = {2014}, yomi = {イイジマ, チガコ} }
