Experience the shamisen in Tokyo! Introducing popular trial lesson plans!
Hello to all of you who are visiting Activity Japan, I'm a scholar who reads when traveling by train. I'm reading "Mitsubachi to Enrai" by Riku Onda. As it is a very popular book that has been made into a live-action movie, many of you may know it, but the story is about the piano, and the depiction of the concert is wonderful and I read it with amazing concentration. I used to do a lot of lessons when I was a kid, but I quickly stopped playing the piano for the very common reason that I don't like practicing.
My parents paid a monthly fee to let me go, but now I regret it. I think it will be fun to grow up and play music as a hobby. It is an era where anyone can easily start learning not only the piano, but also guitars, drums, trumpets, saxophones, Japanese musical instruments, folk instruments, etc. in various forms such as music classes, individual lessons, and video distribution. Right. I can't start without an instrument ... and many of them are expensive ...
But it's okay, most of the instruments can be rented. Among them, Tsugaru that I was interested in
Shamisen
I would like to introduce you to the classroom.
What kind of instrument is the shamisen in the first place?
Shamisen
Is an instrument that is played by playing three strings with a spatula-shaped bee, and is said to have been introduced from Ryukyu (Okinawa) during the Warring States period. For me, it's an image of wearing a hakama and playing lightly and at a fast tempo. When you go to Okinawa, the people of the island
Shamisen
He sings while playing the sanshin, which is very similar to the sanshin, but there are many loose songs in the sanshin.
Shamisen
I was wondering how the Sanshin is different.
When I looked it up,
Shamisen
Is played with a ginkgo-shaped bee, dog or cat skin is used for the torso, the sanshin is often played with something like a claw on the finger, and snake skin is used for the torso. Other materials and sheet music are also different,
Shamisen
It doesn't seem that you can play the sanshin if you practice. Speaking of which, for the first time when I was little
Shamisen
When I heard "is a cat's skin," I thought it was a lie, but it's true. Recently, the spirit of animal protection and a simple version with a special paper attached to the torso have been used as an introductory version.
Then, I will introduce a plan that you can try a trial lesson in Tokyo.

* The venue may change depending on the reservation status, so we will confirm the venue at the time of application.
The location of the lessons is within walking distance of Ryogoku, Asakusa, and Sky Tree, so it is very convenient to learn while sightseeing. It is possible to make a reservation from one person, and it is said that up to 100 people are okay, so it can be incorporated into school social studies tours and company training. The instructor is a veteran who is also active on the stage, and I am happy to be able to learn not only lessons but also history and trivia. Kimono and hakama rentals (2,700 yen separately) are also available, so I'm very happy if I want to get in from the shape. In addition, an English and Chinese interpreter (11,000 yen separately) can be attached, so it can accommodate tourists from overseas, which is wonderful. I would like many people to experience Japanese traditional culture.
Finally
If you go to a place like this, the other students who are there will also say " Shamisen It's fun to be able to get along with each other almost certainly because we are gathering together thinking "I want to play." Of course it's cool to play alone, but it's also fun to be able to play music with your friends. Even if you don't understand the language, together Shamisen It seems like it can be played. It's cool. Everyone by all means.
