Kabuki Academy is proud to announce that five of our shamisan students have passed the examination and have become Natori!

Mary-sensei accompanied the five Natori hopefuls to Japan in October. They took the examination and was judged by the Grandmaster and other respected teachers at the Kine-ie Kai Institute, the school from which our academy is a branch. All five passed the examination with high marks and are now certified Natori. Please join me in congratulating the new Natori: (Their new performance names are in parentheses) Midori (Ya-roku-cho), Melissa (Na-mi-cho), Jon(Ya-cho-no-suke), Paul (Ya-cho-ji), Tommy (Ya-haku-cho).
