Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

Hi all,

my teacher is in Holidays and he gave me some extra work. I am in practice with 3 pieces of the "Fuke" school now. Hon te Choshi, Shin Seki and Hashi Gaishi. My teacher told me that Hashi Gaishi is the second part of HiFuMi, there are some very difficult notes in it. So I keep practice small parts of thoose three pieces. Kan is really getting better but I am still a beginner. Also my teacher recorded this pieces for me at the last lesson we had.

I also started my Tai Chi practice this month and I will practice more at the next month with some intensives. I am still on travel but I always keep one Shakuhachi on my way trough the town to practice alot.

Best wishes to you all from Germany!

Keep Blowing,

Christopher

Yeah but thoose pieces are short ones, but it is still hard for me as you know. My teacher will be back in a few weeks and I have my next lesson soon. Shakuhachi really become a full time training but it is nice way and helps to forgot about the day stress.

Best wishes!

Ah Perry, If someone of them need some sightseeing here in Berlin or something else. They are welcome

Best wishes and be well.

these days i am working on some Shakuhachi Choir ideas. They are good for intonation too . If somebody is interessted to hear them just email me.

I don't know exactly what shakuhachi choir ideas Geni was talking about a few weeks ago, but this is what he had me do for my homework for tomorrow's lesson: http://www.4shared.com/file/127510315/4 … Choir.html

I'm thinking of maybe experimenting with barbershop quartet music.

At the moment I'm working on "Sekino Gohon Matsu", "Banshiki-Cho", and beginning the long haul through "Yugao".  Oh, and a tiny piece called "Akatombo".  Although I'm basically working on "getting notes to sound consistent and in tune" and "making a piece sound musical" and will continue to do that for a long time. 

I'm working on playing Itsuki up an octave into Dai Kan: http://www.4shared.com/file/140098517/e … UDAIK.html

Hi Guys,

after a few weeks of illness, i am slowly back in practice with Oboro Zuki and some basics. I am still feeling a little bit weak some days and my breath isnt strong but I think I will practice more in the next weeks. Also I am feeling a little bit tired of playing Shakuhachi (maybe cause the winter her), also there is alot of work and not much time for Shakuhachi

Best wishes,

The lunar starts this weekend, I think.  I heard it was the year of the Tiger.  A good time to practice Azuma Jishi.

Hi,

I am focusing on Tamuke and looking forward to have my next lesson in Berlin.

Really a hard one to get xD

Funny, I just saw a video of igil, played by a fellow with the handle 'oddmusic' on YouTube.  Igil, hang drum, HAPI drum, didgeridoo.  It was cool.

Even funnier, that was me   Found this long and interesting post while doing some research.  I'm a long-distance student of Ronnie's.  Currently working on Yuki, Horai, and Sanya Sugagaki

I am working on Takiochi as we speak as well as everything else in Chikuzen's Okuden book. As always I am also working techniques to make them better and trying to get my note linking smoother and smoother

Better to master one song than be so so in a lot of songs.
