Philosophy

People can potentially get by once they have their basic needs of clothing, food, and shelter met. However, living a life of ‘happiness’ is not always guaranteed if you only have those things.
If we were to name one essential thing for living a happy life, wouldn’t it be ‘a sense of purpose’?
In the world, there are many people who find their ‘sense of purpose’ in expressing themselves through music, playing instruments, or singing. But what happens when someone who has found his or her ‘sense of purpose’ in music is no longer able to physically perform due to injury or illness?
In addition to these challenges, losing one’s ‘sense of purpose’ can be described as a kind of suffering that feels like your identity is crumbling away.
At One-Hand MUSIC Groove, we aim to create an environment where individuals facing physical disabilities can make it a challenge to express themselves through music and can continue to find ‘meaning’ in music.”
Unique Music
Most musical instruments in the world are designed with the assumption that they will be played by individuals with full physical capabilities, using both hands. Having a disability often means that playing these instruments conventionally can become challenging.
Even if there are difficulties in playing music, the inherent musicality within each individual never truly disappears. On the contrary, music created within certain constraints can bring forth a one-of-a-kind expression characterized by delicate sounds, thoughtfully selected notes, and unexpected creativity stemming from the musician’s inventive techniques. This unique approach enhances the richness of one’s musicality

Greetings
One-Hand MUSIC Groove is committed to making music accessible, even in the face of one’s
disabilities, with the motto ‘Never Give Up on Music!’
The joy of expressing oneself through music is truly incomparable. I, too, have experienced a period of despair when, due to illness, I could no longer play the piano I had grown up with in the traditional way.
Music, the same force that had once nurtured me, lifted me from out of that abyss. It was through music alone that I could fill the void left by that loss.
Drawing from that experience, I am determined to dedicate my efforts to creating an environment where music is never abandoned, utilizing techniques and instrument adaptations tailored to each individual’s disability.
Sincerely, Akiko Tashiro Founder
