Student voice
I want to play the sitar! While thinking, I didn't even know how to make the sound, but I was able to connect with Chie-san and start learning.
At first, I was surprised at the size of the instrument and the number of strings (20!). I had a lesson face-to-face, and at that time I felt like "I'm looking forward to it!", But the next morning, I strongly thought "I want to play fast! I want to feel that sound!". I think it's such a mysterious and attractive instrument.
I take lessons online, and it conveys Chie's love for sitar. I even think that the concept of being taught may have changed. I think it's a lesson that teaches you how to love sitar rather than how to play an instrument. Wonderful.
Tuning is difficult, my fingers hurt, and my legs are numb, but I would like to continue learning from Chie-san. (Female HS in her 40s)
