One and half years have passed since I entered the mandolin club. I felt it was so fast because the mandolin club is a lot of fun!! I will introduce my lovely community.
At first, it is good for you to know about mandolin. Mandolin is musical instrument. It is as big as ukulele, and the tune is same to guitar. According to "Wikipedia" Italy is hometown of mandolin. The scale is same to violin, and very famous musician, Beethoven and Mozart used mandolin more than violin. I can play with pick. Picks have some kinds. The way of playing mandolin is characteristic. It is called "Toremoro". Toremoro is most difficult point. You should practice for tremoro less than for half of one year!!! It was so hard time for me. Now, I can do toremoro, but I needed much time.
Then, I think you could know about the mandolin. So, from now I want to introduce my community, Mandolin club.
There are 30 members in the club. We are divided into 6 groups. The groups are decided by the instrument that the player plays, first mandolin, second mandolin, mandola, mando cello, guitar and contrabass. The way of practice is different as the instrument. Each part has the plan for practice, it is called basic practice. At the beginning, we do only basic practice for some hours.
We don't do only basic practice. We have some music concerts. I'd like you to know two important concerts, Music Festival(MF) and regular concert.
Music Festival is like to Takumasai for us. There are 7 groups for music. The genre of mucis is different, but we are so friendly. And ant the MF, we can play music together!! All members of music group can play music at the same time! It is so pleasant!!
I think entering a club is good opportunity especially for people who living alone. We can make some friends and get wonderful time. In this mandolin club, I could learn many things through seniors when I was freshman, for example, the importance of time, the way to practice. Some seniors gave me advices when I was troubled. And now I'm also seniors. Juniors are so lovable. I want to be reliable.
I have my post in this club. It is called "Naisyou(内渉)" My work is cleaning the club room and preparing for regular concert. Cleaning room is a little hard! There are many useless things and private things. It is trouble for every member to take back private things, so they leave them at the club room. I have to say "Take them back to your home!!" And my other work is preparing for concert. Mainly I make pamphlet. It is the hardest work in my post. I must start making from summer vacation, and the pamphlet will be completed in December. It is so long working, but my job is to finish in a few months. I want to success the concert.
Being members of club is interesting and sometimes hard. However I think the time when I spent in this club will be essential time. I love mandolin club!!
