I was very excited about the Music Festival announced several weeks ago. I did not participate in last years’ festival because I felt my playing skills were substandard with only five months of playing experience, and was making far too many noticeable mistakes to submit a video. Last year I made a promise to myself to improve my playing over the next year hoping there would be another Music Festival. When the new Music Festival was announced, I put in extra hours to practice the music, reviewed the basics, and planned to submit a video. On Wednesday evening while doing my warmup prior to shooting the video, the lower section of the sao, specifically the glued nakago joint separated, and rendered my shamisen unplayable. All I could do was make arrangements to re-glue the nakago with the craftsman who built the shamisen. As I recall from a KiKi video from a few years ago, prior to a television performance, the skin ripped, and you were on mobile making repair arrangements in the studio. It was a setback by the physical characteristics of the shamisen. Setbacks beyond our control should never allow us to stop pursuing what we enjoy doing, i.g., playing the shamisen. This years’ Music Festival motivated me to revisit basics, change how I approach learning the music, and improved my playing skills in order to submit a quality performance. Although I am unable to submit a video this year, I am extremely pleased with the results of the extra effort to improve my playing skills leading up to the Music Festival. I believe what I’ve gained from the last eight weeks of effort, the setback created by the nakago, have made me a better shamisen player, and I am thankful for this experience. The time will come when I can share my playing with others to enjoy (and I’ll have a back-up shamisen just in case). Learning to play shamisen in a virtual environment presents a lot of challenges linguistically, culturally, and geographically. You’ve met those challenges with a well thought out quality platform. Speaking for myself, you not only provide the tools to learn the shamisen, but have opened up other avenues to learn about art, culture, history, and music. I often find myself looking up things unrelated to shamisen playing that have been shared here. You should be very proud of the hard work you have put in to make this platform work. I’m very grateful for this platform, your desire to share your knowledge and teach music, and brought together a diverse community of shamisen players. Thank you! Kevin Schmidt California, US
