***Will travel to your home***
Professional performer with a BFA degree in music and a BA in education. After trying to reach 30 or more students in a classroom, I find getting to really know students as individuals and working with them one-on-one is much more satisfying for both of us. I can guarantee success to anyone. I teach in the privacy of your home. My emphasis is on fundamental skills and techniques. It is an easy step-by-step course. You will learn to play by ear as well as by note. My course includes theory, composition, arranging, improvising and expression.
Laryn Young
Area(s) of Instruction: Koto (Japanese Harp)

The koto is a thirteen stringed harp from Japan. It arrived to Japan in the 7th and 8th century by the Chinese. At the time only blind men could play this instrument in the court for royalty. Then the koto had made it’s way into the villages so the underprivileged people could play this instrument. Afterwards it was required that all women must learn how to play the koto as part of their education. Now days anyone can play the koto young or old male or female. This instrument has the most beautiful sound that definitely sounds like old ancient Japan. Koto composers like Michio Miyagi, Tadao Sawai, Kazue Sawai, and Hikaru Sawai have created new techniques for the koto that sound very modern. The koto can be tuned to anything you want to play so you can play traditional Japanese songs as well as western songs too and anything in-between.
