Question 1: We discussed three different musical (or at least sound-making) groups or roles that are part of kabuki theater performances. Name all three, including the instruments or sounds they use, and where they are physically located in relation to the main action and actors on stage. What are some other important elements of kabuki staging? (These may or may not have to do with music.)

Question 2: Describe the relationship between the shakuhachi, breath, and meditation, and the instrument's movement from that purpose to music.

Question 3: Discuss the role of the komuso and what it had to do with the shakuhachi, meditation, and the internecine struggles between the warring states of Japan in the Tokugawa (or Edo) period.
