Difference between (Western) Flute and Shinobue Flute: Interview with Tatara Toki sensei

What is the difference between the Western flute and the shinobue flute? Why does my shinobue sound like a Western flute?? How can I make it sound more "shinobue"? Shinobue master Tatara Toki-sensei, who began her musical journey as a Western flute player, addresses all these questions. She is one of the most respected shinobue artists/composers in Japan. Don't miss this interview conducted in May 2024 in a beautiful park in Shinjuku, Tokyo!

🇯🇵Konnichiwa! I'm from Yokohama, Japan, and I absolutely love playing the Shinobue flute. I also play the piano, koto, and compose and have a master's degree in opera. I speak and write in both English and Japanese, and my goal is to spread the joy of Shinobue and help those eager to learn more about it but find it hard to access information and materials outside of Japan. Feel free to visit saitomusic.com for some awesome free Shinobue info! 😃🇯🇵
