Welcome to the website of Michael “Chikuzen” Gould, master Shakuhachi performer and teacher.

My studio offers a variety of services:

• I teach shakuhachi in a variety of forms (webcam, camps, home studio, and B&B intensives.) Students also have the opportunity to obtain a teaching license. (See some of my student testimonials and profiles.)
• I perform in concerts and give lecture demonstrations at various levels. (See some of my reviews.)
• I have recorded several CDs and written/co-authored several scorebooks. My most recent CD is Monshogodo with Sebastien Gishin Cyr.
• I have a blog where I post some of my insights. (Here's a brief background about the shakuhachi.)
• Besides CDs, you can buy shakuhachi by some great makers and some fluff such as T-shirts.

Please see my profile about my background and my calendar of upcoming events. (Here's a video of me playing along with some photo albums from various workshops.)

Feel free to contact me for further information.
