I had the opportunity to take Koto lessons for a couple months while living here. I had my last lesson yesterday. I'm so grateful to have had the teacher I did. She was absolutely wonderful, lending me a koto to practice on, teaching me for free, giving me the chance to perform in front of a crowd, and giving me so much free music.
So in just a couple months, I went from playing "Sakura" the first song one learns on a koto, to this song "Fuji" which is a representation of Mount Fuji. I really enjoyed learning so much on the koto. I had Jacob record this on our camera at our last lesson. The song is really long and we ran out of space on our SD card :( so it cuts off before the end of the song, but you get a pretty good idea of what I learned in the past two months. :)
