I met once a week for two hours, learned a few basic songs and performed at the Otsu traditional performing arts center with my sensei as the culminating event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The shakuhachi is a difficult<span style=\"font-weight: 300\">\u00a0ins<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">trument and you will most likely need to practice at least a little bit out of lessons. However many of the things that makes the shakuhachi difficult are what make a unique and interesting instrument. For example, the position of your head or how much you are covering a hole will change the pitch of a note, which both allows you to go between pitches seamlessly and demands a greater level of precision on your part to play specific pitches.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 584px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-13812-1\" width=\"584\" height=\"1038\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8d16c64d-e8a0-4630-b8bd-5f3bd1938500.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8d16c64d-e8a0-4630-b8bd-5f3bd1938500.mp4\">https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/8d16c64d-e8a0-4630-b8bd-5f3bd1938500.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My biggest worry going into this was that pursuing an instrument in one-on-one setting means I won&#8217;t get to learn and experience Japanese culture as I would interacting with a larger group of people via volunteering, but that wasn&#8217;t the case. I learned a lot not just about Japanese music concepts , but also about Japanese ways of teaching and learning. The relationship between me and my sensei was much more personal and extended out of lessons in a way that was different from any music tutors I had learned before. I was very much blown away by his kindness<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13822\" style=\"width: 1011px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13822\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13822\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6234-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1001\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6234-1.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6234-1-193x289.jpg 193w, https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6234-1-590x884.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6234-1-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6234-1-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13822\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">picture Sensei took of me when we visited a temple<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; For my CIP, I took Shakuhachi lessons at a Shakuhachi players house.
