Learn to play popular J-POP songs! Cajon Training Book (2-CD set included)

The cajon is a compact, box-shaped percussion instrument that anyone can easily play.

The pitch changes depending on where you strike it, producing a wide range of sounds, from high to low tones, and even exciting slap sounds—a surprising feat considering its simple appearance.

Its versatility makes it suitable for any musical genre, and it's often used in place of drums in guitar or piano accompaniments, as well as in small ensembles.

This book is divided into two steps: instruction and practice.

The instruction section includes videos on sitting posture, holding the instrument, basic playing techniques, and advanced techniques, making it accessible even for those with no prior cajon experience.

The videos can be accessed anywhere by simply scanning the QR code with your smartphone.

The practice section uses 18 popular J-POP songs, arranged at different skill levels, as examples, explaining essential patterns and including sheet music for example performances!

While having fun playing along to the songs, you'll find yourself mastering the standard phrases before you know it! The included CD contains example performances and cajon karaoke tracks (1.5 choruses of each song).

The vocals feature famous artists such as Azumi Inoue and Aika Yoshioka, well-known for their Ghibli songs.
