Phoenix Shakuhachi Friends

The purpose of this group is to help Japanese Shakuhachi flute players find each other and get together on a regular basis. The group also hopes to foster the growth of shakuhachi players in the greater Phoenix valley. This group is for all levels of Shakuhachi players from people who just have an interest in the music to experienced players. The group does not provide formal instruction but our members will mentor and help each other learn and grow in their playing.

We also have a web site http://phoenixazshakuhachi.com/
