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.

In our Taiko Styles Class more experienced taiko players explore several of the taiko styles that form a common bond and language throughout the international taiko community. Taiko Styles Class also continues the tradition of learning and playing taiko songs using kuchi showa.

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).

Ear plugs are also highly recommended.
