Makoto Taiko has four practices a week for beginners, intermediate and advanced players. The beginner and intermediate practices are for people who are interested in learning the basics of taiko drumming and are open to all ages and experiences. These classes focus on learning simple compositions, refining movement, cultivating discipline, and technique. Saturday intensive practices are generally designated for regular performing members and progress at a faster pace than other classes with a greater focus on incorporating spirituality, creating solos, practicing more complex pieces, and perfecting techniques.
Anyone is welcome to stop by and observe a practice. If you are interested in one of our classes, please contact us.
**Tryouts: We open classes to new students several times a year. Our next tryout period is July 28th, from 5:30pm to 7pm, $5 per session. Please RSVP for either day using our contact form!
