In 1948, he established the "Music School for Children" with Hidekazu Yoshida, Motonari Iguchi, and Minoru Shibata (leading to the establishment of the Toho Gakuen School of Music). Feared as a "demon teacher," he produced many world-renowned musicians, including Seiji Ozawa, and his students formed the Saito Kinen Orchestra. He also wrote "The Method of Conducting," a rare feat in the world, methodizing the movements of conducting. This book is a new work based on the biographical novel "Rhapsody, Never Ceasing - The Life of Hideo Saito" (1996), which won the Japan Essayist Club Award and the Music Pen Club Award, following the life of Hideo Saito and interviewing approximately 130 people involved, with new interviews and significant additions and restructuring. A definitive edition that beautifully depicts his life, who always pursued ideals and devoted himself to music education with almost obsessive passion!! A book that delves deeply into the teachings of Hideo Saito, a legend in the education world. - Title: Hideo Saito: The Educator Who Became a Legend - Author: Hideo Saito - Price: 3080 yen - Contents: Writings on education, content related to the teachings of Hideo Saito Thank you for viewing.
