Shawn Head: Honored Grand Master of Classical Shakuhachi

With an active performing and recording schedule, and a growing studio of students, Shawn Tairyu Head has dedicated himself to bringing the shakuhachi to new audiences around the world. While he embraces the traditional melodies of the ancient repertoire known as honkyoku, his classical conservatory training and Western spiritual perspective make him equally at home composing and commissioning new works that explore the unique sonic possibilities of the shakuhachi. As a performer, composer, and teacher, his goal is nothing less than a shakuhachi revival.

In this conversation, you will find SO MUCH GOLD for the 21st century musician. Shawn is SO GENEROUS in sharing his path and his process, and he has TONS of fantastic advice. I recommend you take notes and take note! I know I did.
