[font="][size=14.0pt]I often use this space to stress the importance of correct pitch. It is a bridge you have to cross when you think of the shakuhachi as a musical instrument. [/size][/font]
[font="][size=14.0pt]I know that there are many people for whom the questions of pitch and musicality are not central concerns. There is a certain validity to this viewpoint, as indeed for large parts of its history the shakuhachi was not considered a musical instrument per se. [/size][/font]
[font="][size=14.0pt]This view is fine if the primary purpose of your playing is solitary meditation, but when you play for people I believe you have to think of it as"music." In the latter case, no one wants to be subjected to atone-deaf shakuhachi performance. [/size][/font]
[font="][size=14.0pt]There is an even more important consideration than pitch, though: expression. Sometimes you can be so focused on pitch that you forget that music is also about expression. Correct pitch is necessary for expression, but it is not sufficient for it. [/size][/font]
[font="][size=14.0pt]Once you are comfortable that your pitch is (at least mostly!) correct, you must also think about what kind of expression you are aiming for. [/size][/font]
[font="][size=14.0pt]Desired expression will inform everything about each note you play, from volume to color to how it fades away. This will transform a technically correct melody into something personal worth listening to. [/size][/font]
[font="][size=14.0pt]Pitch and expression: two sides of the coin of performance that you can polish. [/size][/font]
