Japanese Folk Song Sheet Music: Sakura Collection / 2nd Edition ~s27~ Singing Method / Japanese Music / Reference / Practice / Shamisen

★ The numbers on the left side of the song titles are tuning forks. By singing along to the pitch of the song's beginning, you can practice singing without an instrumental introduction (like shamisen or shakuhachi).
★ You can sing while looking at both the musical notation and the lyrics simultaneously ♪
★ The musical score is clearly notated to help you understand lyrics placement, pitch changes (rising and falling), whether to hold or cut notes, vibrato, grace notes, rests, and the timing of interjections ♪
♪♪♪ Japanese Folk Songs - Sheet Music instructional video (YouTube) is now available ♪♪♪
