Kids discover the traditional Japanese drum and dance performance with one of Tokyo’s preeminent taiko instructors.
Students learn the basics skills of taiko drumming, a form of ensemble drumming that was established in the 1950s and is now a feature at many Japanese festivals.
Starting with solo pieces, students progress to group arrangements during this high-energy class.
Club instructor Moko Igarashi established the Miyabi Arashi Taiko School in 1997 and leads performances at the American Embassy, charity fundraisers and at the annual Taiko Gathering Day, where as many as 200 drummers perform on stage at once.
