Introductory Taiko Workshop

Tuesday, May 29th from 7:00pm to 9:30pm

Location: ACAS Center, 29 Montvale Ave., Woburn, MA (directions)
Cost: $30

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). Using your entire body to learn and play a song, explore first-hand the mesmerizing, heart-pounding power of taiko. Come ready to move: wear comfortable clothing and bring water. Ear plugs are also highly recommended.

No experience is necessary! ONE brings enthusiastic and encouraging instructors and all necessary drums and equipment. Participants bring plenty of energy, spirit, and joy!

To register, complete and mail the registration form with your $30 class fee. Group discounts are available if arranged in advance; please call 781-938-DRUM (3786) for details.
