We are promoting activities to promote expansion. Musical instruments are provided free of charge to children who want them, and they can receive instruction from school music teachers and specialized musical instrument instructors. Currently, we have formed a cooperative system with Soma City in Fukushima Prefecture and Otsuchi City in Iwate Prefecture, and we are actively working on the dreams and hopes of children who will lead the future, mainly at elementary schools.
