Abstract
On several occasions I asked Ishikawa Middle School students about their opinions of the music that the band played and how the repertoire was chosen. They indicated that all of the music was chosen by Kato Sensei without their input. Seeking confirmation, I asked Kato Sensei how musical selections were chosen for the band.
