About Lesson by the répétiteur

“Répétiteur” (Korrepetitor / Corépétiteur) is a professional pianist whose importance has been recognized in Japan. Not only for vocalists but also instrumentalists, they provides lessons that go beyond just “piano accompaniment.”
In this camp, Repetiteurs lesson is required in Master class, and also selectable in the General class 1. With Tomoko Sawano, who is active as a repetiteur in Germany, rather than techniques to play the Horn, we start by modifying the pitch and rhythm, then work on the process of completing better music together, such as how to approach “music” and “pieces” and how to breathe with others.
