The 19th music class was held at Gunma-machi church from 6:00 to 8:00 on Nov. 21. During the first session we sang several Christmas carols in Japanese including “Gloria,” “Silent Night,” “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” and “The First Noel.” The pianist was Ms. Jyunko Hukushima and Mr. Kozo Imai taught the songs. We enjoyed an early Christmas, singing Christmas carols.
After a coffee break, Mr. Kyle Butler taught “Hello, Goodbye” by the Beatles and “Happy Christmas, War is Over” by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. His singing with his guitar was wonderful. A lot of Japanese have heard the melody of “Happy Christmas”, but singing this song in English is not so common, so we enjoyed learning and singing this song while remembering John Lennon. It gave us time to think about the real Christmas in December.
