Your message.
1. What is your sticky message? (Barabasi 3) What is the idea you wish to promote or issue/problem you want to try to 'solve'?

Though Gregorian Chant is a traditional hymn in Latin language in Roman Catholic Church, there is less oppotunities to perform it in japanese churches, less people who understand Latin than layman's expectation.
* More choirs are expected to perform the Gregorian chant.
* More people in Chrch are expected to study Latin.

Knowledge of social network.
2. Who is your strategic social group? Can you identify and define the organisational base you will need to develop and/or tap into?

church choirs,
secular chorus groups,
instisute of sacred music like http://www.st-gregorio.or.jp/

1. Chrch choirs have some connection(not so strong) through church members.
2. * Chorus groups' networks are stronger than choirs, open to layman, and vigorously act. This is expected to be a strategic base.
3. Music institutes have excellent arts and strong networks in higher level, but seem to be difficult to be moved by a request of an indivisual.

Same people often join 1. and 2., even 3.
Among them, 2. is most proper social resource.

Strategy for network building.
3. How will work to create your organisational base? How will you spread and encourage others to take up your message?

1. Search chorus groups that have GC in their main works.
2. Go these groups and preach them to sing also in church with following merits.

(The merits to sing at church as a member of choir:
(1. He can sing GC in proper location(chapels etc.).
(2. He can make use of his arts and interests to traditional church culture not only for leisure.

3. Invite some interested people to study Latin language
