In this course, you'll learn the fundamental techniques (kata) and choreography of Taiko drumming. We'll explore the rich history and philosophy behind this ancient art form while also mastering a complete song together. Each session will begin with a quick interval training (tabata) and yoga session to prepare our bodies and minds for taiko. Students can access our online course materials and videos anytime, where you can learn to build a practice taiko and also practice 'Air Taiko' at home so you can keep those skills up without driving your neighbors crazy:).

Taiko is more than just drumming—it's a full-body workout that strengthens your core, enhances your focus, and awakens your spirit. It's a powerful tool against depression and a fantastic way to meet new people and build lasting friendships. Spaces are limited, and due to the progressive nature of the course, registration will close after the first three week. Don’t miss out! Sign up now to secure your spot and join us on this exhilarating journey of rhythm, strength, and community.
