Beginning and ending of class in Japan

Usually, students do the following at the beginning and ending of class in Japan. 
キリツ   Kiritsu "All rise." 
キヲツケ  Kio "Straight up." 
レイ    Rei "Bow." 
チャクセキ Chakuseki "Sit down." 

Some regions have different ways of doing it.

 There is a simple piano version of bowing.
