This was as a direct response to the declining number of school children learning to play the instrument in the UK. Still in its infancy, BONELAB has put together numerous initiatives designed to focus on the trombone. Festivals, concert halls, conservatoires, education agencies and leading orchestras have adopted BONELAB projects.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/2218767.stm )〕 His students regard him as a hero. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roger Argente」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
