Visiting Toronto this summer
I won a toy design contest done by a very big toy company, and so i will be coming for a month of apprenticeship in Toronto Canada at the Company HQ this summer around July - August.
How is the Shakuhachi scene over there?
I will have a tight schedule but im sure i will have some free time and really would love to meet up with people and play together, maybe also take some lessons.
And if there is any maker around there thats even better!
Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks Smile

Hi Itamar

There are some shakuhachi people there... the community seemed not that strong but certainly existing.
There is a wonderful koto lady there...

Hi Itmar, I'm from Toronto, but I met Debbie in Boulder at the WSF there. Her approach is on healing with shakuhachi. She is well versed in the traditions, so I'm sure that with her combined experiences, she would have some things to share with you. I have a good friend who took a lesson or two with her and was pleased. She's a nice person too.
