Utsu Hachijo and Yataibayashi
with Megan Chao Smith

Every other Saturday from October 4 to November 29nd, 2025 from 2:30pm -4pm

(5 classes: OCT 4, 18,  NOV 1, 15, 29)

Open to all TAM students and taiko players. We will learn two songs, condition our bodies for power drumming, aim for student recital performance of yataibayashi for TAM students combined with Mighty Drumming Club in December 2025. 

Three students minimum are required to attend every class to perform at student recital. Fewer than 3 students will still result in a performance at student recital, yet as adult guest artists with Mighty Drumming Club.

Also a place as a performer to refine and focus on these two forms of taiko. Students must commit to practicing and memorizing material outside class.
