Greetings. Nice to meet you, my name is Taiki Tokuda. I have been playing the sanshin since I was 6 years old and have had many teachers. Currently, I am performing as a performer on stages in and outside of the prefecture. I would like to make the most of my experience and make sure that everyone who attends the class thinks, "Sanshin is fun! I would like to make it a time when everyone who attends can think, "Sanshin is fun! At first I couldn't play or sing at all, and in addition, I was tone deaf. (laugh). But as I continued, the sense of accomplishment I felt when I was able to play and sing the sanshin was truly immeasurable. I hope that I will never forget my original intention, and that I will be there for my students and help them have a good time. We look forward to seeing you at our classes.
