Abstract:

"Lessons in the arts, called okeiko (practice), are very popular among Japanese people of all ages. It is believed that one is never too young to begin okeiko training or too old to stop. The program presents segments from four okeiko lessons for children in Suzuki violin, koto, kendo and traditional dance. It demonstrates the principle and technique of each of these methods, and also underlines the importance of the student-teacher relationship."
