"Tsuki no sabaku (Desert Under the Moon)" is a beautiful Japanese melody composed by Suguru Sasaki in 1923. I'll be creating a shinobue sheet music for the song and teaching it phrase by phrase. Since it contains up to kan on 4, it's best if participants are intermediate shinobue players. They are welcome to bring any hon choshi shinobues. And to wrap up, we can all enjoy a mini-performance at the end of the workshop.

Prerequisite/What to bring: This workshop is intended for intermediate shinobue players who can play up to kan on 4. Participants should bring their own shinobue, but they also have the option to purchase a Suzuki plastic shinobue from me, provided that they have the ability to play it.
