My first correspondence in Japanese!

I must be feeling adventurous tonight. The Amami Oshima orchestra's website has a "contact us" button, so I composed a simple message to introduce myself and voice my interest in joining them in both Japanese and English:

初めまして、

マランダー・リーです、瀬戸内町の新しいJETです。七月二十七日から始めて、古仁屋高校に英語を教えます。よろしくお願いします。

アメリカから来ました、大学で私の専攻は音楽です、チエロを弾きます。オーケストラに参加いいですか(“希望者”?)。ありがとうございます。

(日本語がよくできません。Googleトランスレーションを使用しました。ごめんなさい!)

Hello,

My name is Maranda Li, I am the new JET in Setouchi town. Beginning on 7/27, I will be an Assistant Language Teacher at Koniya Senior High School. Pleased to meet you!

I am from America, in University my major was music, and I play cello. I am interested in possibly joining the orchestra. Thank you!

(My Japanese is not very good. I used Google Translate. Sorry!)

We'll see what, if anything, happens.

EDIT: They replied!

Dear Lord I hope it's understandable
