omg these little kids can play it perfect without a music sheet
Oh, now I see they have invented invisible music stands
everyone is so amazed they don't have music. if you play anything enough times you can memorize it. every single marching band does it. the thing that IS impressive is the sound, strength and tone of the little bastards especially thw low brass. insane. they probably play upwards of 8 hours a day.
+MrAnarchy26 95% of marching bands USE MUSIC, even in College!! They shouldn't but they do. I've played in lots of them and ONLY ONE made no music mandatory. Kudo's to those that expect a higher standard, it's just not as commonplace as you suggest.
+Ken Willis I've been in several organizations as well as teach them. marching bands, good ones that is, will learn the music and not take it on the field with them. it's really not hard to memorize a piece of music. same with indoor competition ensembles.
I think these are after-school clubs, so probably 1-3 hours a day after classes on weekdays?
We dont memorize that much music in marching and pep band. And when we do its only a 60 measure piece with repeats. For concert standards the pieces go from 200 measures+. Keep in mind that these are elementary school students.
These kids haven't even hit high school. Elememtary kids in the u.s. are still playing the recorder.
They are better than my high school band lol
I had to review this video again. These children Are most excellent. The quality and level of their musicianship at their ages it is truly mind-blowing. Thank you for sharing it with us. And thank you too the music teachers for giving the world so many more excellent musicians.
Instead of whining about how "We suck", get over yourselves, get over your emotions and invest the time and energy necessary to be this good. A large part of the problem in American public schools (in general) and culture is the we value entertainment and amusement more than excellence. Some parents become enablers in this process, helping to keep their kids mediocre rather than push them toward excellence. There are American groups this good - just a few - but their priorities are different.
Nah I kinda want a life
TIPTAI lmao
Their Elementary does that
U.S Elementary does hot cross buns...
I taught myself final countdown perfectly in 5th grade
bruh US Elementary does like nothing I thought
And, this is an Elementary school Band. What can I say? AWESOME!
The sight of those little guys playing the tubas almost made me die laughing XD
These guys are way too good
@K0ELW A fair question, but it is not. They rehearse, mark, and revise the parts as needed, but do short contest performances (10-12 minutes) from memory to maximize unity and expressiveness. Unlike Suzuki (one to four parts played by all) an advanced band score has up to 40 independant parts. Rote teaching can't work with complex music scores, and besides, look at, and listen to the great emphasis on fundamental training. It is what it is, no "tricks", just lots of time, which they have.
They memorized it too
Remember that this was js an elementary 😭 so good
Elementary school time is heyday in Japan.
WHERE MAKING THE HIGH SCHOOL MAD WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Unbelievable! And all kids are playing there parts memorized, without sheet music.
Fantastic!
@HappyTrekkIrah Answer: 1) all clubs can practice as long as they wish after school, 2) the goal is to be good as possible, no excuses 3) students tutor and mentor each other, which builds a great ensemble, 4) you can only belong to one club, and are always expected to give 100%.
no matter how good you are at something, an 8 year old asian will always be better
Continuing: They value excellence, so they don't allow their kids to waste time texting and randomly surfing the net, but have them invest it in practicing. This is why Tyler S. Grant (Along the Beaches of Normandy), for example, is 17 years old and has his own music publishing company and is signed to FJH as a composer, he's also a clinician and plays multiple instruments. Excellence takes sacrifice. What are you willing to give up in order to be GREAT (and not just AVERAGE) ?
I wonder why Japanese bands are so FREAKING AWESOME ??!!!
Well, its actually 2-3 hours a day after school, and they participate in clubs for the express reason of having a more rounded life as well as the experience of doing something well.
damn, I guess they just decided to memorize the freakin thing while they were busy pwning. Man sometimes I wish more people in the world had this kind of dedication. I know it comes at a price though, but this is a result worthy of so much.
The low brass at 1:09 is bad ass as fuck. so strong!!!
@THEEsaxmaniac Japan's elementaries are 1st-6th grade, and these kids are 4-6th graders. The ties work wonders for maturity, and this director is a master teacher. His previous school was the renowned Ohgashiwa Elementary.
@bene951 Here's an example of enthusiasm. Seika Girls HS Band that played at Midwest this year...the students are very proud of the fact that they rehearse 364 days a year. They love the program, the director, and all that they do. Seika has an alumna band of about 90 players that performs at Seika's main annual concert. They can't get enough! The MO for school clubs is this-learn to do one activity really well, in a teamwork setting, something to build pride and confidence...not a resume.
that is amazing i would like to meet your teacher
Mr. Tagawa is known for his great fundamental teaching skills. All members read music, and learn quickly from each other in student-led section rehearsals daily after school. Short contest performances can be memorized for the sake of attentiveness, but not lengthy concerts.
Yo, Mama.....you rock, kids!
My goodness. No sheet music. All from the brain!!!!!!! That's incredible
shit, seriously?? this is amazing!! these kids are at a level that adults aren't even at
OMG they are so good... amazing kids
They're amazing i can't believe they don't need they're music sheet
They have no sheet music in front of them o_O
My band teacher will never stop comparing me to these kids
so amazing!!!!!!! :)
I swear they're amazing no sheet music even XD
i cant play this and im in high school
Meanwhile, my brother's 5th grade band finished Go Tell Aunt Rhody and my 7th finished Black Forest Overture
it shares so much emotions, absolutely amazing
wow!!!!!! They're better than my middle schools advanced band, and last year we were in the top ten bands in the state.
dios bendito!!! es impresionante. ya les gustaría a otras bandas profesionales tocar así. PERO SI ESTÁN TOCANDO DE MEMORIA!! impresionante! :)
Would you calm down my goosebumps?
if a typical japan kid is in band from elementary to senior high, gosh, he/she gonna own big time
OH MY GOOOSH! Speechless.............
they memorized it too
I know it's an elementary school (and don't get me wrong, they were jaw dropping), but that final chord made me wince like I just swallowed an entire lemon.
L like it alot they are the best
ditto man... i grew up in taiwan.... but then came to america... now that im in love with band... i feel as if i should have stayed in taiwan...
The DVD this comes from has 10 such elementary bands playing at evaluation festival... "Superior"
Wow they play with out music OMFG
***** My guess too. I assume they will learn how to read music at a later date.
***** My guess too. I assume they will learn how to read music at a later date.
I played in band, marching band and Drum Corps. For marching band and Drum Corps I had to memorize all my music and played it perfectly but not flawless.
@bene951 Sure...I assume we are all educators with student's best interest in mind. Japanese students are given a great deal of autonomy-I have seen kindergartners riding the Tokyo subway. Their schools are academically tough, so parents and adminstrators encourage club activity to build their life experiece. A small percentage of those music clubs strive for extreme excellence, and their successes actually attract students to those schools. They WANT to be there, because its thrilling-its fun.
the diffrene between america and other places we suck
@LaTex305 Please don't feel that way-these recordings are meant to inspire, and consider what can be, given enough time to practice an art or sport. In America we try, and do a lot of activities, and in Japan, students select one and give it all their time after school. We can, though, use their type of focus and intensity to make our rehearsals more effective. Tell your band friends to listen carefully, don't make the director repeat instructions, and come well-prepared for practice each day.
田川先生と真間小じゃないですか！.
Typical club meeting schedule 3-5 or 3-6 daily after school, and Saturday if needed. Some don't do as much, some do more, as they wish.
Like not kidding, I literally played the trumpet part of this after 4 listens. I am 8th grade. My school is doing pieces that I can sight read.
i am pretty supprised that these elemnetary school aged kids are better than my 8th grad middle school band wow
@TheShadealex : At 2:15, they are playing claves. There are two rows, trumpet, flugelhorn and cornet. This sample clip is only part of the performance, so some views are missing.
This is Freaking amazing. OH my God. I am in a middle school band, and we are pretty good, but these guys make us sound horrible.
they better than high school band!
very impressive!!! how i wish to be one of the player! Japanese are very expert in this field of music =D ..
imagine coming in early in the very beginning
Very good
1:39 YOOOOOO
Yea it is I have like 75 Asian at my school I would know.
Japan School Bands = Singapore Gold with Honours Secondary School Band in SYF
Genial!! davon sind unsere Landesjugendblasorchester in Deutschland weit entfernt :D
It's true. The US school music programs haven't been exactly great
anyone else notice that it's all memorized
@064645642 This is one of the best bands, and they rehearse concert music maybe three times longer each week than our school bands. Just a different system, but it works.
@bravomusicinc actually they practice on their own like two or three hours a day each at home.
さすがにこのレベルは甲子園球児みたいな厳しい世界だよ
i almost feel sorry for these kids. i mean....its obvious that they practice 13 hours a day and i can't imagine growing up like that and living a decent well rounded life
They've all memorized their parts. This is unbelieveable. Puts the US to shame in a hearbeat (downbeat ?)
@freecomkcf - Don't be hard on your own band or director. Our school culture promotes individuality and diversity, which goes against the idea of uniformity and self-denial needed for a tight and well-blended ensemble. You know all the speeches about "I" not being in "teamwork". And, in Japan, you can only be in one major extra-curricular club, because it takes all of your time. Band is rehearsed just like track or swimming-hours daily, sometimes weekends, etc. Different world, and results.
Holy hell,there better than my high school(kindaish)
Are elementary schools in Japan until the 20th grade???
@bene951 The truth is simple. None of them study privately, or at home. That's the value of club activities...they are an all-consuming, personal, voluntary part of the school experience. All training is done by student section leaders (trained by the director). Individual, section, then full ensemble, in that order. Its all about "basic fundamentals" and time spent, 3-4 hours daily and weekends as needed. The baseball club works even harder, but no one claims "abuse" ..its fun, just for now.
Damn that's better than my middle school concert band
こりゃすごいや
They look a little older than elementary us studients.. regardless they are very very good!! I wish the USA schols would take note of this (no punn intended) and relise that if we cute the arts out of school we are not leading our children to use the brain the way it was designed to function.
and They All Play By Memory!
Is this perhaps overkill?
they're in school all day doing math and science for hours on end. And you're saying including the arts isn't well rounded? That's what being well rounded is! By the way, how many asian band directors do you see? I know one and I'm outside NYC, the emmigration capital. Their parents want them to be the best at everything, then they drop music in favor of higher paying careers.
Anyone notice? No music. Wow.
And their from Asia.
@stubert311 Let's see....who's going to be working for who?
Do they read music or are they taught by rote?
สุดยอด ชอบๆๆๆ
This video is very good, but it makes my band members and I look like little beginners. we play good, but compared to them, we're amateurs.
holy shit these little guys playing upright tuba
Is teaching via rote learning as in Suzuki violin?
@itsumo321 well nvm then. they really must know how to practice efficiently
One word: Disciprine.
LMAO!! thats freakin tight
And were a top band for our regin
DCI has a challenge ahaha
えーーーーっ
i feel ashamed of myself
my elementary didnt have actual band until you were in fifth grade ._.
@TheShadealex ( mexican voice) They don't need no stinking trumpets
