We are very happy to announce that Odaiko New England will be hosting workshops taught by a very special master taiko artist, Tiffany Tamaribuchi.
KATA, INJURY PREVENTION, CONTROL & EXPRESSION (TUES, 12/11, 6:30 – 9:30)
We all know that taiko drumming is a physically demanding activity. Given the nature of how we move our bodies when we play, we are more at risk for certain kinds of injuries, especially with certain more physically demanding styles. The goal of this workshop is to provide you with tools and techniques that you can use to prevent injury while giving you a greater sense of control and freedom as you’re playing. All levels welcome.
Cost is $50.
Also check out the first workshop: Odaiko on Monday.
Cost for both workshops is $100. Space is limited so email [email protected] with
“TT Workshops” in the subject line to reserve your spot.
These workshops will be AWESOME. Don’t miss out on this amazing learning opportunity with one of the leaders in the global taiko community!

Champion of the 2002 OTAIKO Hibike All Japan Odaiko Contest and a finalist in the first Tokyo International Ippon-Uchi Odaiko Competition, Tiffany is widely recognized as one of the best instructors and workshop facilitators in North America.

Have you seen taiko performed and thought “I want to do that!” Do you like booming drums, using your body and having fun? Do you enjoy rhythm, movement and teamwork? Odaiko New England is offering an introductory taiko workshop which is the perfect opportunity to try your hand at taiko. Our workshops are great for beginner players, even those with no musical background at all.
New drummers learn taiko fundamentals such as kata (form), kiai (vocalization) and kumidaiko (ensemble drumming). Using your entire body to learn and play a song, explore first-hand the mesmerizing, heart-pounding power of taiko. Come ready to move: wear comfortable clothing and bring water. Ear plugs are also highly recommended.
No experience is necessary! Returning students are welcome to attend. ONE brings enthusiastic and encouraging instructors and all necessary drums and equipment. Participants bring plenty of energy, spirit, and joy!
