ShamiZone – your virtual space for focus<\/strong><\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Shamisen is still a very “exotic” instrument – in the sense that almost nobody know someone who plays it. m Sinne von: kaum jemand kennt jemanden, der das spielt. That’s the main reason why most shamisen players outside of Japan don’t have a group or friends they can play together (yet).<\/p>\n

Sooner or later you reach the point where you feel lonely or lost. Most people learn and work better when they’re not isolated and all by themselves but are surrounded by like-minded peers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A shared <\/strong>space to work on yourself focused<\/strong> and individually<\/strong> – that’s what ShamiZone<\/em><\/strong> aims to become.<\/p>\n

You can use the opportunity to exchange contact infos with fellow shamisen players, find friends, or you can stay to yourself and simply enjoy knowing you’re not alone in being passionate about shamisen.<\/p>\n

This page offers an overview over how the ShamiZone<\/strong><\/em> <\/strong>serves you, what a session usually looks like<\/a>, how to participate, and answers to some selected “frequently asked questions<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

\u00a0What happens in the ShamiZone?<\/h2>\n

We are meeting up in a virtual room at a set time. At the beginning of each session, all participants are encouraged to share what their personal plan for that session is. The focus session is then solemnly opened by me.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer: ShamiZone is a virtual meetup to focus on playing shamisen together. It is no group lesson<\/em> where everyone works on the same material, but every participant can and should spend the time in a way that is most beneficial to themselves at the given time. I am planning to do group lessons<\/em> though – so if that’s more up your alley, I’d like to hear from you – simply send me a short email<\/a> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

For the focus section (e.g. 45 minutes) all participants mute their microphones and work on their shamisen stuff. Keep the video going, if possible. Knowing and seeing that other people share a similar goal and interest (playing shamisen!) is super motivating! That’s why it’s desirable to have all participants keep their cameras on. Don’t be shy, everyone is usually so focused on themselves that nobody is looking at the screen, really \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Practice with more focus and motivation – together<\/h2>\n

You might know this feeling from other parts of your life such as the local gym class, your library’s reading room – you instantly feel more motivated to tackle something when you feel you’re not alone in whatever you’re woring on. In the ShamiZone<\/em><\/strong> everyone can practice by themselves, but we’re still practicing together<\/em> – we’re all \u00a0\u201cin the zone\u201d: focused and motivated, wholesome instead of lonesome \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n

Open focus sessions for all skill levels<\/h2>\n

The ShamiZone<\/strong><\/em> sessions are open to everyone<\/strong>. Because we’re not working on something specific together but everyone brings their own little piece of work to the sessions, every participant can choose their own tempo. It’s similar to an (assisted) open studio or a co-working space – but for shamisen \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

At the start and end of each session there’s room for open exchange – everyone can share but nobody has to. That’s also the time for you to ask questions and get help with specific challenges.<\/p>\n

Inspired by similar formats to help people who work from home but are having trouble working isolated and without colleagues, I created this virtual space where we can make progress in our shamisen adventure together, among like-minded people.<\/p>\n

              Who can join?<\/h2>\n

              Anyone can join, regardless of experience or style. Since everyone works individually, there are no \u201cconflicts of interest.\u201d The challenges of learning and practicing are similar for all, so we can support each other, share experiences, and learn from one another.t<\/p>\n

              How can I register for the sessions?<\/h2>\n

              Anyone who supports Shamisen-Zentrale<\/strong><\/em> on Patreon automatically becomes part of the Discord<\/em> community and can join any session spontaneously. We do appreciate knowing in advance if you plan to attend.<\/p>\n

              Participation in all ShamiZone<\/strong><\/em> sessions is free<\/strong>, but but currently limited to members of the Shamisen-Zentrale community (Patreon supporters or future Substack subscribers). There\u2019s no formal registration for sessions, but committing to a date helps you stay on track with your practice. If you schedule a session and actively decide to practice shamisen, it\u2019s easier than leaving it to chance. Your fellow shamisen friends and I are counting on you<\/strong>\u00a0and looking forward to seeing you.<\/p>\n

              When are the Sessions happening?<\/h2>\n

              Currently, we’re having sessions twice a week, every week. Those sessions are independent from each other, so you can drop in at both or just one – whatever works best for you. Times are: Mondays and Thursdays at 11 am at the US West coast PST\/GMT-7 – that’s 8pm in Europe. Focus session is 30 minutes. Depending on how many participants join, the session will conclude after 45 minutes or 60 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

              What makes this better than practicing by myself?<\/h2>\n

              You ask yourself why you should commit to a fixed day and time to practice although it’s not a group lesson but you’re practicing individually anyways? You will notice the difference right after the first session. You simply focus and practice differently when you’re not isolated and detached from the world\u00a0 but have this set and limited amount of time to do your best and make progress on a specific problem. Apart from organizing and leading the practice sessions I share valuable advice on practice topics (e.g. how to practice efficiently, or how to tackle hurdles and overcome plateaus).<\/p>\n

              It is my hope that the ShamiZone<\/strong><\/em> will help many of you to practice and learn better, have more fun playing and to feel less alone playing shamisen and making music!<\/p>\n

              How much time should I plan for a session?<\/h2>\n

              <\/h2>\n

              Sessions are roughly 60 minutes long. About 30 minutes are dedicated to focused practice, though you can take breaks during this time.<\/p>\n

              Please plan for 5-10 minutes of time\u00a0before<\/em> the session to get your instrument ready, lay out your sheet music and think about what you want to work on during the upcoming session. I usually jot that down in my practice journal, but some scrap paper will do the job just fine!<\/p>\n

              Everyone can join, no matter how experienced and what style they’re playing. Because everyone focuses on working on their own challenges, there are no “competing interests” – the challenges when it comes to learning and practicing are the same for everyone, so we can all support each other, share our experiences and learn from each other \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

              Participation in all ShamiZone<\/strong><\/em> sessions is free<\/strong>. Signing up for a date is supposed to be treated as a serious commitment<\/strong> by you as a participant though.
