shakuhachi music notation
   Discover the ancient art of the shakuhachi – the Japanese bamboo flute and enter the world of “blowing Zen”. No prior musical knowledge is required. Bronwyn teaches in Sydney at the Sydney Zen Centre, Annandale and at her home in the Blue Mountains. Flutes can be ordered through Bronwyn.

“The moon floats above the pines
And the night veranda is cold
As the ancient clear sound comes from your fingertips.
The old melody usually makes the listener weep.
But Zen music is beyond sentiment.
Do not play again until the great sound of the way accompanies you.”

Hsueh Tou (980-1052)
Chinese Zen Master
Tetteki Tosui – Blowing the Iron Flute
