I wasn't sure about how I should sing, or how I should train myself, I've hoped that I would be a singer who would be able to fascinate the audience after I get a firm vocalization basics. Knowing that her vocal lesson focuses on the unique vocalization of Okinawan music, I decided to take her lessons. By taking her lessons, I gradually have understand the Okinawan vocalization, and what I should learn and train for making well use of my own voice character. Each lesson was very meaningful and precious experience for her careful and patient instructions on the basics of vocalization and how I should sing, and for good hints she gave me on focused points of my training. And she also gave me good advices on my sanshin, too, how I should hold Bachi (pick), the angle of bachi and strings and the fingering on left hand. I thought I wasted years before I took her lessons. I appreciate her meaningful lessons very much.

It was a very nice lesson. I play a guitar, so I asked her to teach me about Okinawan music on the guitarist's viewpoint, she taught me well in a precise way and I learned a lot. I recommend her lessons for not only who wants to experience Sanshin, but also who wants to learn about the Okinawan music theory.
