My name is Brandon Quam. I'...Hello Mr. Hebert,<br /><br />My name is Brandon Quam. I'm a music educator from the state of Texas and I recently read your book "Wind Bands and Cultural Identity in Japanese Schools" cover to cover and found it an extraordinarily fascinating read. For the past decade I have stood in awe of the quality of music put out by the Japanese school bands, but the method behind their madness has always been an enigma locked away across 10,000 kilometers of open water behind an ironclad language barrier. Music competitions were a huge part of my youth and I am thankful that a book such as yours exists to help bring light to a society of young people who've made this institution an overarching part of their childhoods. Their musical culture is an inspiration on my teaching to always remember what young people are capable of, even if our culture makes it difficult to produce these types of kids.<br /><br />The book left me with a great many questions...and few resources are available to answer them. I have a beginner-intermediate knowledge of Nihongo, though it's too limited to be of much use to me. I can read Kana decently, know about 50 Kanji and understand maybe about 10% of what I hear, so seeking out the Japanese figureheads who could help me wouldn't be of much use. The majority of times I have reached out to Japanese people online using a combination of English and Japanese, I'm flat out ignored. I've always heard that most Japanese are amazed at any Westerner even attempting to speak or write their language, and that the attempt at reaching out would be met cordially and at least a small link in communication might be formed. But this hasn't been true in practice.<br /><br />In any case, might I ask you if there are any English publications you recommend for further research into this subject?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811856490210723334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347842593858847640.post-7694967995643730552012-10-11T03:20:44.672-07:002012-10-11T03:20:44.672-07:00I Like music and dance concerts, Please share some...I Like music and dance concerts, Please share some upcoming Dance and Music Concerts and Events.Sangeet Vidhyalayahttp://www.sangeetvidhyalaya.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347842593858847640.post-23485635120355535752012-07-24T23:31:30.303-07:002012-07-24T23:31:30.303-07:00What kinds of details would you like?What kinds of details would you like?Sociomusicologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09408859984544549259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347842593858847640.post-54446195110560630462012-07-24T22:42:22.032-07:002012-07-24T22:42:22.032-07:00I'm a Music Students at Divya Music Center.

You could enter a graduate degree program in ethnomusicology, cultural sociology, critical musicology, or music education, for example. It certainly depends in part on where you would like to study. I don't know what continent you live on, and there is considerable diversity in the kinds of programs offered at universities in various nations.
