Is a koto recital in a tatami room on your bucket list? We invite you to experience the wonderful sound of the koto for yourself. Where you may get your hands on a real koto and give it a whirl; the staff notation on this instrument makes it accessible to musicians of all backgrounds. In this workshop, you will learn to play one song.
I will meet you at the station ticket gate and take you to the tatami room where the event will be held. You can actually touch and play the koto, and since this koto uses staff notation, even foreigners can easily play a tune. You will be able to play one song in this workshop. Self-introduction, explanation of the xylophone, song selection, etc. (5 minutes) We will actually adjust the size of the koto by putting on the koto nails with adjusters.
