Hello all shakuhachi players,
I am pleased to announce that Riley Lee will present a free (yes, as in "no
cost") shakuhachi workshop, teaching pieces from the Chikuho school,
written in Chikuho notation. This workshop will provide an opportunity to
learn a new piece or two, while at the same time learn the notational
system of the Chikuho school . All players are invited, regardless
of level of experience or familiarity with the Chikuho school.
Riley is a Grand Master in this tradition, which he learned from his
teacher, head of the Chikuho school, Sakai Chikuho II. The Chikuho
repertoire contains a large collection of traditional pieces from various
sources, such as the Meian Shinpo ryu, Soetsu ryu, and Nesasa ha, as well
as modern compositions--all written in Chikuho notation.
Date: Thursday, October 12
Time: 7:30pm to 9 or so. We'll gather at 7pm, to have a while to chat with
Riley before the workshop.
Place: Home of Nik and Sally Warren, 1016 Spruce St., Berkeley.
P.S. Riley will stay in the Bay Area from October 12-18, and there are
still slots open for private lessons. Normally, private lessons are $50/hr,
but as an added incentive to learn the Chikuho notation, Riley is offering
lessons on pieces in Chikuho notation for just $25/hr.
Please contact me with any questions (indus1@uclink4.berkeley.edu)

"It really is not that hard to learn new notation systems, especially the
Chikuho system....The main benefit is its opening up the possibility of
playing lots more music, like knowing another language gives one access to
lots more literature. " Riley Lee
