• I played the trumpet about twice a week from elementary school to junior high school.
  • I started thinking about the benefits of humans playing musical instruments (rather than using synthesizers, etc.).
  • It’s a common story, but…
  • The sound itself is influenced by the human condition, especially when using breath.
  • The strength of the “brand” of traditional instruments.
  • The sound produced varies depending on the individual.
  • For the performer, there is a sense of enjoyment in growing and improving, similar to a game.
  • If the pleasure of producing sound is related to enjoyment, is it essentially the same as a rhythm game?
  • Technique versus expression without worrying too much.
  • Things that can be done with musical instruments or synthesizers that cannot be done with audio playback.
  • Dynamics, contrast, rhythm.
  • Improvisation.
