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.
The workshops will be led by Lindsay Dugan. 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, ergonomics, breath, ornamentation, and tone.
For the February workshop, we will be looking at practice methods, some short folk tunes, and a honkyoku piece (Sanya Sugagaki).
Date and time:
Sunday February 24th 2019
15:00 – 17:30
Cost:
