COURSE

From beginner to shakuhachi master

Steve (USA)

I have received my flute after only 3 days of enrolling to shakuhachi master course. The response was quick and from the beginning of the course I've been treated with respect and encouragement. The course has many topics that support my learning and is easily accessible and concise. The study cycles progress through the certification and are laid out in a logical and progressive manner with personal instructional training support from Zapata sensei.

I highly recommend taking lessons with Zapata Sensei. Not only is he incredibly patient, but his teaching style makes learning the instrument a very convenient experience. He goes beyond just technique, delving into the rich philosophy that underlies the shakuhachi and budo traditions. Thank you for starting me on my journey through the path. Your teaching way is exceptional, it is done in the old way, with your mind, body, and heart working together.

I just purchased a wonderful Mumon Ryu Jiari Shakuhachi from your website. Your assistance helped me a lot during the process of choosing the flute. The information and guidance you provided helped me a lot in deciding what type of shakuhachi to choose. Also your support was very helpful in placing my order and really made my purchasing easy and effortless. I appreciate all your assistance. Thank you very much. Best regards!
