Get ready for power drumming! Combine this class with your hard work to develop high level skills, approach, and practice habits to grow into a strong and powerful performer.

You will receive drills, technique, and practice to play with your entire body. Learn UTSU HACHIJO song to prepare for possible special student performance in June. Focus on Yataibayashi style, and also engage in regular shime-daiko drills, for sticking, speed, and precision training with metronome, all brought to students from my own training with professional Japanese taiko group, SHIDARA.

Requirements:
  • Must have taken a taiko class with TAM before, and bring own bachi, or order new bachi at the start of the series.
  • Must learn music on own time after introductory instruction time, and receipt of the musical score. 
  • Be willing to learn and practice Japanese etiquette.
  • Be willing and interested to play with your whole body and unleash power in new ways!
  • Regular attendance required
