Lessons are $40 CAD per 1 hour lesson.
While I focus mainly on teaching the ancient solo Zen repertoire of Honkyoku associated with the Dokyoku/Chikushinkai lineage. lessons are primarily tailored to the students needs and playing goals.

Japanese folk songs, modern pieces, ensemble pieces for shakuhachi and koto, exercises borrowed from western music and other material may also be used if desired. A focus on tone, breath, musicality, improvisation, technique and the mechanics of the instrument will be a part of lessons. this will allow the student to find their own sound and form a strong personal connection to the flute.
Scores and recordings of the pieces being studied will be provided as necessary.
Beginners to experienced students are all welcome.
Lessons via Skype. Lessons are also available via Skype, Facetime, Zoom or other video chat services if you are unable to attend in person lessons.
