From Mr. S, a pen name: "Half a century has passed since I graduated from music college. I have been pursuing what it means to "sing". Professor Kawamura's clear lessons were an eye-opener. I learned that "vocal music" is never "a chore to sing". I am in my mid-70s, but I am now able to use the high range comfortably, and I am truly grateful to have met Professor Kawamura.

[Ms. E, a soprano in her 50s, a pen name] Swiss vocal technique? What on earth? ... That was the beginning. However, I thought it was worth knowing, so I first took an audition lesson, and it was so interesting! I couldn't help but take a lot of notes. Imagery and imagination are of course necessary for music, but not only that, he started by explaining the body using a diagram of the human body, and even for vocal training, he concretely showed me the meaning of the training and the direction to aim for, and I was drawn into his very theoretical talk. I immediately asked for lessons. It feels like I am clearing my problems one by one, and when I can produce a well-balanced voice, and when I can remove the veil of the muffled voice that has been bothering me, it feels really good. I wish I had encountered this vocalization when I was younger, but when I think about ending up not knowing about it, I am grateful that I had the opportunity to do so even now. I would like to continue singing and improve as much as possible. Thank you for your continued support, sensei.

[From a pen name Mr. M] The teacher's guidance is surprisingly accurate, and the more you teach me, the more I change. Both myself and the other people who took the open lesson saw a drastic change in my voice before and after. He explained the vocalization and breathing methods, which were difficult to understand before, in easy-to-understand words, so I was able to understand a lot of things I didn't know. A friend invited me to an ``open lesson that will open your eyes,'' and I was really surprised by how eye-opening the lesson was. The teacher teaches each person with kindness.

[Pen name: Mamesan] "In vocal music, your body is your instrument, so it's difficult to see it objectively. I always felt that you can't understand how your body is structured, how you use it, whether it's conscious or unconscious..." just by feeling. But when you take Kawamura-sensei's lessons, he clearly teaches you the specific structure of your body and the habits you should avoid. "I should use this part like this!" You can understand it in your head, and you can also learn the practice method properly, so you can see hope. If you have doubts or difficulties with your singing like me, I would like you to visit the Swiss Vocal Method!

[Pen name: Katzenleben] Even though I know that there are physical causes for not being able to vocalize or pronounce words smoothly, you can't see inside your body. When I first started singing, my teacher told me to "take an inner trip into yourself," and after taking this class, those words really hit home after 10 years.

[Pen name: R.S] Thank you very much for the very meaningful lectures and lessons. I learned a lot of things I didn't know before, and being conscious of the muscles and tissues of my body helped me visualize my voice and breathing. In the lesson, I was taught my weak points clearly and accurately, and my future challenges became clear. I want to cherish my one and only instrument! I am truly grateful for the fulfilling lectures and lessons.

[Pen name yayoi] It was very easy to understand the vocalization because it was explained from an anatomical perspective, such as the skeleton and muscle tissue. In addition, I often overwork my throat in my daily life, but it gave me some hints on voice care and helped reduce stress. Furthermore, by polishing my voice, I was able to increase my self-esteem.

[Pen name Licht] I had heard and imagined that Turk 1 and 2 were similar, but I had never received concrete and easy-to-understand guidance until now. I am grateful for the teacher's guidance that there is truth. I was worried about what would happen in my first lesson in a year, but by speaking out loud, a bright light shone through the gray sky. I am grateful to the teacher and to music.

[Pen name Yumin] I have taken many lessons on vocal techniques and vocal music. I gained something from each experience, but there was still some uncertainty. I took Tag1 and intuitively thought, "How scientific and specific!" The practice of perceiving the inside of the body was simple and fresh, a feeling I had never experienced before. It overlapped with the impression I felt when I listened to Professor Kawamura's performance on YouTube, and I was convinced to add Tags.

[Pen name Yayo] I never thought I would reach a view of life from nasal breathing. Spiral breathing was also a first-time experience. And above all, Professor Kawamura's teaching spirit is wonderful. Rather than "only conveying it to a few people" or "deriding those who are not good or ignorant," I thought that his enthusiastic and pure heart and his efforts to "convey high-quality vocal education to as many people as possible" were truly masterful. I would like to emulate him as a teacher.

[Pen name T-san] After the teacher's accurate comments, I was happy that the easy-to-understand instruction using diagrams and photos fit perfectly❗️I am so impressed‼ I can only say one word: ️. I am happy to feel that my understanding deepens with each lesson.

[N.Y.] After taking the lessons, I realized how much my previous vocalization methods relied on my throat. It was very easy to understand because I could understand not only sensory words but also the structure of the body. I am using my muscles more than before, so it is tiring, but it has become much easier to vocalize.

I was very surprised by the kindness of Professor Kawamura, who translated the comments of the Swiss teachers, and I was really happy to hear his sincere support and hope that it will be a positive thing for us participants in the future. I was very grateful to read every word of the messages from each of the judges. In February of this year, when I was finally feeling down because my doubts and doubts about vocalization were piling up, I happened to see an advertisement for a competition. I sympathized with the call to "change the way we do things without changing the essence" and participated in the competition for the first time in my life with the intention of taking lessons, with the goal of receiving comments. I was truly happy and touched my heart with every word of the teachers' comments. I am grateful that they not only pointed out what I was not doing well, but also went into detail to teach me how to solve the problem.

[A.H. Pianist] I am a pianist, but the lectures were also very useful for instrumentalists. I have been told by foreigners that the stiffness of the Japanese body feels like "it feels like there is a metal plate in my back," and I have been wanting to do something about it for a long time. I never knew that the breakthrough was in breathing. What was particularly useful for me was that the diaphragm is the 12th thoracic vertebra, which is also connected to the pectoral muscles, and is also connected to the back, so the back side that breathes in can move more. ...When I breathe in while thinking that it is okay for my back to move, I feel like my back spreads downward, and I can breathe deeper than ever before, and I no longer hold my breath while playing the piano. It makes me feel so free and expressive. I feel like I have taken off some of my armor.

Edit先生のレッスンとても勉強になりました。身体の中のことをよく知覚する為にもっと訓練しなくちゃいけないな、と思いました。沢山図を出して解説して下さり、見えなくても自分の中にあるであろう器官を想像する助けになりました。
