Winter Taiko Classes @ ASAC
Feb 24 @ 6:45 pm – 8:30 pm

Our Fundamentals class will run from 6:45pm until 8:30pm.

In our weekly Taiko Fundamentals class, new drummers learn essential taiko skills such as kata (form), kiai (vocalization) and kumi-daiko (ensemble drumming). Using our entire bodies to learn and play a song, we explore first-hand the mesmerizing, heart-pounding power of taiko while exploring its rich traditions and history. Taiko Fundamentals class is an invigorating experience for body, mind and spirit. No musical experience necessary.

Our style class will run from 8:00pm until 10pm and will explore more advanced taiko songs and styles.
