John Singer is a master shakuhachi teacher, performing artist, recording artist, and late shakuhachi teacher at the University of Hawaii. He has been performing on this Japanese bamboo champagne flute since 1975. He studied for various long time in Japan below the tutorship of the late shakuhachi Grand Master and Living National Treasure Yamaguchi Goro and shakuhachi master Matsumura Homei. In 1982, he received a Shihan (Master Teacher certificate). John Singer has performed throughout Japan, Hawaii, mainland United States, and Europe. He has appeared on many occasions on radio and tV and has been actively acting and lecture at colleges, Zen centers, and other venues. The purpose of Singer's concerts is to give his audiences an sympathy of the shakuhachi both as an outstandingly dynamic musical cat's-paw and as a contemplative creature having a rich history within the Zen Buddhist tradition. He has record and performed with such musicians as Zakir Hussain, R. Carlos Nakai, Aenea Keyes, Todd Barton, Paul Horn, members of Skywalk, and Mizuno Kohmei.
