Kazumichi Sunada is currently an active freelance oboist in Japan and the artistic director/producer and teaching-artist of a number of Japanese Outreach Programs. Also, Sunada still gives concert performances throughout Japan.

Sunada is a former oboist and executive producer for a number of education programs created in conjunction with the oldest professional wind ensemble in Japan, the Tokyo Wind Symphony Orchestra (TWSO). He also participated in the negotiations related to the selling of concert programs of the TWSO.

Since 1997, he has given over 400 workshops in Japan's public schools as a facilitator/teaching artist. Sunada was appointed to the position of Programming Advisor of the outreach program for several public concert halls in Japan and the Executive Producer of the Support for Hands-on Cultural Projects by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2002.

He negotiated to prepare the budget (2.1 million U.S. dollars) for the Japanese Ministry of Education for Hands-on Kids Projects in 2004. He was the programming advisor of over 900 Hands-on Music Programs for kids (Budget:0.65 million U.S. dollars) throughout Japan in 2005.

Sunada received a bachelor's degree in music from Nihon University college of Art in Tokyo. He then obtained his master's degree at the New England Conservatory of Music in 1996 where he studied oboe with Laura Ahlbeck and conducting with Richerd Hoenich and Frank Batisitti.

Sunada’s other diverse experiences include teaching at the junior high and high school levels as well as a brief stint as an assistant stage manager for an opera company.

Currently, Sunada established a new non-profit organization called “ Life with Music Project(LMP)” for local areas in Japan. LMP, in partnership with the New York Philharmonic’s Education Department, is transplanting the mission and method of “outreach” to musicians in Japan in order to gain recognition and create needs for community activities and education programs offered by musicians. Currently LMP is offering these programs in Minato-ku, Tokyo, but in the near future, they will be extended to other areas of Japan. Since 2008, he has been asked to be in charge of planning, developing, coordinating and performing education programs at Japan’s largest classic music festival, LA FOLLE JOURNÉE au JAPON, held in Tokyo.

Message from Director of Education NYP.

2007-10-20 14:25:40 | Info in English
今日はNYフィル教育部門のディレクター、テッドさんからのメッセージをお伝えします

Education at the New York Philharmonic

The idea that music is important to children’s education, and that professional musicians can contribute to children’s education, goes back at least 100 years in the history of the New York Philharmonic. Children’s concerts began before 1900, and began their continuous run as Young People’s Concerts in 1924. Leonard Bernstein lifted the idea of performance for young people to a new level beginning in 1958, creating a model of teaching that changed how all American orchestras think of their relationship to the young.

But the educational environment changed drastically in the 1970s. In a time of fiscal crisis, New York City cut educational budgets to the degree that almost all art and music teachers, and many others as well, were let go. Cultural institutions responded with growing involvement in New York’s public schools. In the early 1990s, the New York Philharmonic created its School Partnership Program (SPP), still the most extensive in-school program of any American orchestra. A key innovation of the SPP was the creation of a faculty of Teaching Artists who are not members of the Orchestra, for the simple reason that the daytime commitment required to make a deep impact in classrooms would be far too great for a musician with four rehearsals and four performances per week.

The Teaching Artist faculty has in turn defined a philosophy of education that has come to permeate all Philharmonic programming, including the Young People’s Concerts. Our aim is to make music a vital part of children’s lives. We work of course with symphonic music, but our goals are not limited to this music, nor is our aim primarily to build the audiences of the future. We use the tremendous resource of the New York Philharmonic – in live performance, on recording, on the Internet – to awaken children and adults to the expressive power of music, and help them build their own relationship with music as listener, performer, or composer.

We initially targeted public elementary schools that had no music program (which described most of them) in order to help build one. We created a systematic, comprehensive music curriculum for grades 3 to 5 (ages 8 to 10 years) and co-teach it with classroom teachers. All students learn to play the recorder, to listen intensely, to compose, and to think of themselves as musicians. The powerful outcomes of this work have led many of our partner schools to hire full-time music teachers, greatly enriching our work with the birth of student ensembles.

The impact of our work expanded significantly when the New York City Department of Education invited the Philharmonic to partner on the creation of a city-wide music curriculum. The values and methods of the SPP thus became an important source of the approach that has been in effect now since 2004.

Key to the success of the SPP is the leadership of our Teaching Artist faculty. Teaching Artists receive training 13 days each year, all of it designed by a committee of Teaching Artists, with important guest presenters. Through their leadership, the program evolves every year by re-examining its own best practices and responding to new conditions in the schools.

So it is particularly appropriate that this year, our Teaching Artists Ensemble comes to Japan for the first time. This is in fact the first time the New York Philharmonic has been represented on tour by its Teaching Artists, not the Orchestra. Their expertise in designing and performing interactive concerts for children and adults is simply unsurpassed in the United States, and they represent the educational values of our institution.

Their visit builds on a visit one year ago, in November 2006, from Teaching Artist David Wallace and myself, as Director of Education, on the occasion of a New York Philharmonic tour of Japan. Kazumichi Sunada’s Life With Music Project graciously invited us and produced ambitious in-school demonstrations at Nanzan Elementary School, and a two-day symposium at Showa College of Music. Mr. Sunada had visited us in New York several times, and become convinced that our Teaching Artists had something to offer to Japanese musicians and educators. That impression spread through his events last year, leading to this year’s renewed invitation.

We at the New York Philharmonic believe in long-term partnerships for education. We believe that our work with our Japanese colleagues is only beginning and that we have many years ahead to learn from each other. On our first visit, the music-making of students at Nanzan Elementary School astonished us, and I am sure we have many more surprises ahead. We hope that our example will help Japanese musicians and educators develop their own ways of engaging inspired professional musicians with learners of all ages.
