[Principal Instructors] Yukino Yamamoto (shamisen) Makiko Ishiba (flute) Seika Shimamura (kotsuzumi) [Features of the Project] The instructors of each instrument are active musicians with long teaching careers and achievements, so various demonstration performances are prepared. You can experience live performances and receive direct instruction while always imagining your target values. Since the instructors are members of the same ensemble unit, each class (instrument) is close to each other, and what they experienced on each instrument was played together as a single ensemble piece in the recital. In addition, if the lecturers also participate, they can experience more fulfilling results. Depending on the number of students, there will be musicians who will support the class, so even though it is a group lesson, it can provide more detailed instruction. [Environment for participants to continue practical experience (practice) of traditional performing arts] This course is held continuously for half a year, and the contents are changed, so it is possible for those who wish to continue taking the course repeatedly. It is also possible to change the instrument at that time. For those who want to learn more on their own, all of the instructors also have private classrooms, so you can take one-off or continuous lessons with various instructors as supplementary or additional lessons.
