    Main Library Multipurpose Room

    Join Michael Chikuzen Gould in this presentation that will feature Japanese children’s songs and folk songs, along with a demonstration of the shakuhachi musical instrument itself:  How it is played, its colorful samurai history, and how it is made.  Converting a raw piece of bamboo into a musical instrument is a fascinating process, and children and families enjoy learning about it.
