This workshop represents a unique opportunity to study intensively with 4 teachers from Kokusai Shakuhachi Kenshukan: main teachers Riley Lee and Jim Franklin, supported by German KSK teachers Nina Haarer and Alexandra Kraus.
In group teaching settings, the following traditional and modern pieces will be taught:
Ukigumo (Honkyoku)
Yamagoe (Honkyoku)
Mushi Kuyō (Sakai Chikuho I)
Fumai Inga (Riley Lee)
Salz (Jim Franklin)
Additional pieces, including pieces at beginner level, will also be offered. The workshop is thus suited for advanced, intermediate and beginner players.
Scores and recordings of the pieces will be made available to participants in advance.
The teaching languages will be English and German. Participants must bring a shakuhachi with length 1.8 shaku (fundamental pitch D).
Teaching will take place on 08-09.07.2023, 9:00am-5:30pm; on the evening of 07.07.2023, at 7:30pm, a public concert by the teachers, entitled ‘The Sound of Bamboo – Die Stille hören’, will be presented in the church, directly next to the Community Centre. Entry to the concert is free of charge.
