Greetings ASS members,
The Australian Shakuhachi Society invites you to monthly ASS workshops in Melbourne to experience the art and sound of the Shakuhachi – the Japanese bamboo flute.
Each month we will focus on one of several genres, including Yokoyama style honkyoku and Kinkoryū honkyoku and gaikyoku, along with relevant technical aspects such as meri technique, ornamentation, and tone.
Date and time for the next workshop is:
Saturday July 8th 2017, 15:00 – 17:30
210 Berkeley St, Parkville.
Please arrive early for a 3pm start.
Dates for the next three workshops are: July 8, August 13, and September 17 (taught by Kakizakai Kaoru)
