    I’m 70 years old with moderate COPD and I have decided to play the Shakuhachi. I have no musical background and and difficulty in breathing. Your Lecture was inspiring. Thank You

      great! I wish you much happiness with the flute. A friend of mine began to play the shakuhachi when he was 80, and he was so happy with his first sound. And that was enough! "There is only sound" and "It's always perfect"!

    Damn, that point about assessment and a celebration of learning cuts deep.

    You misspelled shakuhachi, but this was one of the greatest TED talks I've ever seen.

    I went through this at school. Teachers would judge me and my grade would always be the same, until one day when my name was not on the paper that I had submitted and my grade was much higher - and it was even a surprise to the teacher that the paper belonged to me. This was reiterated when I submitted my first paper in college, it was the only one that was outstanding that I had to read it to the class, I thought the lecturer had made a mistake because I had come to believe the confinement of other peoples judgement of me. I am also to blame for being judgemental of others and one day when I judged a person in a shopping mall, they were the ones that later came to save the day for me when I got in trouble. So judge not, as we never know what was and what will come and can only live in the moment of the breath that we take as Lee explained beautifully. Each person has the capacity and potential to be radiant and that is often expressed spontaneously, but we miss it because we are locked within judgement. So let's shine and let shine!

    On the “ there is only sound” claim. I first want to say that in a way he is right. But he is also incorrect. Music is a conjunction of melody, harmony, and rhythm. Even if you don’t have a specific signature tempo, the tempo is still there, in a constant state of fluidity but it’s there. The three components form music. It’s like a trinity. One into three and three into one.

    Honestly, I was disappointed he didn't play; after all he showed up in full garb bringing his flute with him.

    It. is. not. hard. to. make. a. sound. on. a. shaku. freakin'. hachi.
    I was given a pvc one last night after Buddhism class, and I could toot it right away. It's fun! I like this crazy flute. I've played a conventional "silver" flute, pennywhistles, recorders, even a side-blown flute I made myself out of PVC, and this one is cooler than all of those.
    Honestly if you can toot a coke bottle you can play this thine so don't be scared.

      Getting a sound isn't that hard on the shakuhachi. The hard part is playing a full strong note in tune I would say. Also technique takes time to sound good like playing flats and sharps.

    Does anyone have a good brand they’d recommend

    • @MatheusFerreira-lg3pl
      @MatheusFerreira-lg3pl 2 роки тому

      There is no brand, but makers. There many makers who build flutes for specific styles of playing. The best thing is to get a teacher and he will set you up with a good instrument.
