Profile

I am a multi-instrumentalist playing and giving lessons on koto, shamisen, shakuhachi, 17 strings, kokyu, sho, and noh-kan! I have over 10 years of experience teaching children to elderly, beginners to experts. The Japanese instrument industry has developed for hundreds of years based on the pillar of "teaching others. In recent years, though, many young performers have not focused on lessons, I believe that the decline of "practice" equals the decline of the "industry," and I have been putting effort into lessons since I was a teenager. If you are wondering whether or not to start Japanese instrument lessons, please feel free to apply for one. For some reason, people often think that it looks scary or is a hurdle, but please rest assured that it is not! We will do our best to respond to any circumstances or requests you may have, including face-less, anonymous, or any other circumstances and requests that only online lessons can offer. We look forward to working with you.

Nice to meet you! I am kojirou, a Tsugaru Shamisen instructor. I have been teaching Tsugaru Shamisen for many years, and I try to provide personalized instruction to each student by utilizing the skills and know-how I have cultivated through face-to-face lessons over the years. Once you have mastered the basic techniques of the Tsugaru shamisen, your repertoire will expand and your range of expression will broaden. In our course, we carefully instruct even beginners so that they can build a solid foundation while having fun at the same time. Please feel free to apply for a trial lesson first!
