JCCC Kyowa Daiko at Haru Matsuri 2023

Taiko Drumming

 

For more information about our Taiko group, follow @kyowataiko.

Taiko-Japanese drum music has been a part of Japanese culture for centuries and more recently has become known for ensemble performance using different sizes and types of taiko. Taiko is performed at festivals, celebrations, and other traditional events. Students in the Beginner session will learn the fundamentals of taiko and basic rhythms and short taiko songs. In the intermediate classes, students will progress with more rhythms and drills, to hone the skills that they learned in the Beginner classes.
