This section will discuss that people are consciously or unconsciously cultivating numerous sensitivities through music. The sensitivities obtained by music in the section are concretely the following four kinds: Emotionality ― People associate music, and emotions are created such as “sadness”, “suffering”, “joy” and “delight”. Artistry ― Acquiring curiosity and joy of pursuing art, an eternal theme for human beings, from the concept of music. People appreciate the joy of expressing their images with music. Cultural ― People can deepen the view of every culture from music of each country and its history. Humanity ― Unity through chorus and ensemble can be an element to build cooperativeness.
