Introduction to the Institute of Japanese Traditional Music

The Modern Japanese Music Research Institute was founded in May 1994 as a
research and educational institution that focuses on the role that
traditional Japanese music plays in modern-day Japan. The Institute offers
practical instruction in instrumental performance as well as lecture courses
in theory, history, and other subjects. Lessons and lectures are provided
by some of Japan's leading performers, composers, and scholars.
The Institute offers lessons in koto, shamisen, shakuhachi, and various
percussion instruments, with a focus on both traditional pieces and modern
works, including new pieces commissioned by the Institute itself. An
impressive variety of lecture courses are also offered, such as survey
courses covering the entire range of Japanese traditional music (including
gagaku, shomyo, noh, and kabuki), as well as courses on Asian musical
culture and world music.
The purpose of the Institute is to foster the growth of performers and
educators who are able to view traditional Japanese music from an
international, modern perspective. To that end, it sponsors concerts of
traditional and modern Japanese music, research seminars by leading
performers on traditional pieces, and workshops for non-Japanese artists and
scholars working in various genres. In 1998, with the support of the Japan
Foundation, the Institute presented a performance in Ulan Bator, Mongolia.
In this program, Professor Kiyoko Motegi, a noted expert on Japanese
traditional music, will provide commentary as two of Japan's leading
musicians, Akiko Nishigata and Chieko Fukunaga, perform a selection of
Japanese music with their colleagues that covers the entire range from
traditional pieces to newly composed works.
