Characterized by intensity, precision, and a sense of celebration, Taiko Drumming emphasizes and enhances physical agility, confidence and musicality. Come join us as we learn about elements of history and culture, rhythm concepts, and etiquette within a traditional Japanese setting. The majority of our time together will be hands on as we stay active and engaged learning basic rhythms through games and fun exercises. Having a drum is not required. Upon enrollment, a handout of suggestions for a variety of household options to use for class will be provided. This is an introductory workshop designed so interested learners can get a sense for Taiko on a virtual platform. A follow up 6 class series will a be offered for those who wish to continue. I hope to drum with some of you soon! Sibling discounts are available.
Learning Goals
In addition to learning history and cultural aspects of the art form, learners will strengthen coordination, listening skills and fundamental rhythm concepts.
The discipline of Taiko Teamwork also builds focus, confidence, creative expression and musicality.
