My name is Hiromi Nakano. I'm learning a Nagauta Shamisen myself.
When I was in Japan, I learned a traditional musical instrument Koto for 10 years, shamisen for 5 years under the instruction of my teacher.
I got a master of Nagauta shamisen in 2004. I'm married to Scottish husband so I've lived in Edinburgh for 2 years.
I will teach Shamisen anyone interested. It isn't necessary to have a shamisen for the first couple months. If you are interested, feel free to ask me.
