4 sessions

Principal instructor
Einojo Kineya, Nagauta shamisen

Event features
The program covers stage music and nagauta still in use today. Those who find it difficult to sit in the formal seiza floor position can use chairs. Instructors experienced in teaching everyone from elementary school students to the elderly will make learning fun.
We use“bunkafu,”a form of shamisen notation showing hand position, so that even people with no experience of musical instruments or music can understand it intuitively, allowing participants to experience shamisen in a relatively play-friendly environment.

Publicity methods for the recruitment of participants (collaboration, cooperation, networking, etc.)
Flyers will be posted in the Honjo, Sumida-ku, where the program takes place.
Web advertisements (principally Facebook and Instagram) will be posted which redirect users to the participant application site.

Ways to enable participants to continue with practical skills experience (other than programs covered by this grant) after the end of the event
After the end of the program, we can supply information on rehearsal spaces and lessons to those who wish to continue learning the shamisen.
