Profile Information

Town: Ageo

Your County or State: Saitama, Japan

What Instrument ( inc Voice ) Do You Play ?: Viola as my primary instrument. Also working on the tin whistle and low whistle.

What level are you at ?: Beginner

Provide any other information here: I am originally from the USA, but now I reside in Japan with my Japanese husband. I took up the Japanese koto and before that the shamisen for a couple years, but decided to take a break and go back to my viola roots. I hear viola isn't a great fiddle for ITM, but I'd like to see if I can prove that wrong. I decided to make viola my focus, but I'll find some time to learn the tin and low whistles. I love the Irish flute too, but I don't think I'll be able to give it the time and dedication it needs. I'm sure the whistles will keep me happy. (^-^)

I hope I can make Irish trad friends online and here in Japan, and I hope someday I can visit Ireland to play my music, and meet my family there. ^^

Cheers, Danny

Well, I'm living in Kyoto,a fan of Irish Traditional Music and Set Dancing. I've been learning flute and whistle as beginner and with my friends, we are organizing set dancing class in Osaka.

Please keep in touch!

But with koto finishing, and my regular habit of getting exited for St Patrick's day around this time of year, I think im back on track! I'll do my best with ITM on my viola. Looks like there isn't much support for the idea, but I believe in it! I'd also like to FINALLY try Irish flute as well, still love the sound!

Danny
