Military Music Training

Program Outline

 The JMOD/JSDF conducted its long-term (about 2 months) music education program for the Papua New Guinea Defence Force Band, with a view to further improving the necessary knowledge and technical skills of the band's new members. In this program, Japanese instructors taught music performance (individual, ensemble and marching), solfege and music theory.
 Through this program the PNG Military Band has achieved an intermediary performance technique level and now can play ensemble scores.
