分かりやすい… さすが…

先日書いた藤巻メソッドなる、藤巻氏の著書を読み、聴き、弾き、と繰り返す。特に平日は往復の電車内で睡眠学習… リアルに寝てるときもあるけど、そんな体たらくでも耳から入れる効果は大きく、数度レッスンを聞いて、不明点をテキストに返り、ふむふむ、と読んで不明点を潰していき、どうしてもよーわからんところはとりあえず飛ばしておき、前にとにかく進むのである。

かなり強引なアプローチだが、各種資格試験には似たようなアプローチで臨んできたので、実際、知識も定着して、難度が上がってもついて行けるようになってきたし、この調子でいこうかと。

いままでどんなテキスト読んでも分からんかった音楽理論が、代ゼミの先生のテキストのごとく分かりやすく、大変助かる。

手軽な値段で手に入るのでおすすめ。

思うにあえて楽典から入り、分からないなりに分かろうとしていってからコード進行の本を読む方が頭にすっ、とコード進行の本の内容が入ってくる気がする。

奥さん曰く、音大レベルの楽典もある程度網羅できるレベルの楽典知識が得られるので、基礎固めにはいいのかも。

分かってくると何でも楽しいね。

As I saw not a quite professional jazz performance yesterday, I thought that the professional's one will surpass the experience I went through yesterday... 

for me, chihiro yamanaka's performance looks very sensitive but sometimes very aggressive though her recent performance seems more calm and conservative than that of several years ago... 

Since having seen akiko suwanai's performance a few years ago, I can't stay at home without seeing the genuine performance.... these days, I have watched chihiro yamanaka's performance on tv playing dvd, and I have listened to the finest performance by other players, I noticed that for me chihiro's one is the best of the best...

the quality of education through classical music at toho and jazz at barcley, on top of her adultery atmosphere get together to express the well-combined taste....

look forward to going there....

tonight I went to the bar in roppongi to enjoy a jazz live  at one of the famous jazz bar, where Naoko Terai and other familiar guys perform from time time to time. I learnt lots of new jazz songs sung by beautiful singers,  while I could recognize some of the famous songs, not a quite jazz but as a pops, very familiar to ordinary people, such as the jazz arraignment of "Human nature " by Michael Jackson.

Though I was invited by the senior colleague at the same company and he actually introduced to us one of the singers featured at today's live,  I was absorbed in another singer, called Aki Kitagwa. She wore a graceful dress today colored with purple tonight and looked very nice, on top of her really inspiring, impressive signing... I didn't expect any wonderful talent there unfortunately, as it was my first time to see the live jazz just in front of myself, but actually I bumped into the one that seems one of the most passionate jazz. I was fulfilled with it that I could be there tonight, listening to her soulful songs and feeling sensitive but cool, deep, adult-oriented jazz... 

The best thing I could be there was that with only about 7,000 yen, drinking and food were included with 3.5 rating out of 5.0 by Tabelog, the famous taking web service,  in addition, we could enjoy added-on live performance after the original program ended... 

I didn't know such an unexpected benefit had waited us, but actually held... so if you have a chance to go to a jazz live, you might stay there until the unexpected program shows up.

Anyway, not only the life performance there was fascinating, but also the conversations with my colleagues were also good and let me recognize that there were many people that don't show their another aspect in their private lives, which got my interest in them deeper than before I go to the live. Such a off-time communication brings me better understating on my colleagues which will definitely contribute to my day to day life from now onwards...

Hope that I would be able to have a chance to visit a jazz bar someday again.

10年前は大学卒業して専門学校に通っていた。会計なんて、まったく分からんしできなかった。成績が停滞し続けかなり苦しい日々だったのを思い出す。

5年前は社会人3年目か。

会計士試験を最後に受験した年で今頃は会社を長期間休んで専門学校で勉強してた。初めて転職の面接を受けたのもこの年。

そして今。

結婚し、妻と息子を家族としてむかえ、転職し、家も買い、と、10年前、5年前には想像もしなかった状況。

また5年、10年経ったら今度はどんな変化が起きてるんだろう？

会社勤めをしてるだろうか？

子供は今より増えてるか？

まだ日本にいるだろうか？

その時やりたいことができて、充実した人生と感じられてるだろうか？

何もしなければきっと今のままだろう。

行動や判断の連続が、きっと未来の自分にとっても真摯に映るように。
