The workshop is a tremendously fun and energetic way to experience what it's like to play a taiko drum and is particularly suitable for people with little or no drumming experience. Note: unless you have previous taiko experience, this workshop is a pre-requisite for taking our 6-week class. To return to top of page click here Taiko Class Description:Our 6-week beginners' course is geared to those who wish to take their knowledge of taiko to a higher level. In this course you will focus on learning the proper stance and technique, different taiko rhythms, the use of vocalizations, and the importance of movement in taiko. You will also learn to perform a more advanced taiko song as a member of an ensemble. Note: We require that you take our introductory workshop before trying this course, unless you have previous taiko experience. Oba-daiko is designed for participants 50 years old or better, who would like to try a kinder, gentler style of taiko. The group will work together to learn a taiko song. In order to keep the student-to-teacher ratio high, we limit the number of participants in both the workshop and the course. Please register early to ensure we have sufficient room. Please note that participation in the workshop does not automatically guarantee space in the course which is limited to a smaller number of participants than the workshop.
