Have you ever wanted to play the big Taiko drums? Come learn the basic form and even a short song! A new song every month!

Always interested in Taiko but haven’t had a chance? Come play our big drums and learn a short song! Thinking of trying out Taiko but not ready to commit? These workshops are a “taster” of what our classes are like.

We will teach basic form and start with some warm-ups and drills in the first half hour, and then learn a short song snippet together in the next hour. Each workshop will teach a different song! No experience necessary!
