WORKSHOP INFO
We have workshops so you can:
experience Japanese drumming as an art form,
better understand the various integrated components of this art form(drumming, music, and choreography),
have fun and allow us to help you find the taiko player within! /

We offer Level I (Beginner) workshops occasionally throughout the year, but Levels II and III are not as frequent.

The Level I workshops consist of 1 class that will be 2.5 hours long.

The workshops are very “hands-on” with a minimum of lecturing and maximum playing.

They are designed for those with lots of, a little, or no musical background, as well as varying levels of fitness. Expect some strenuous activity.

This is an adult workshop; you must be at least 13 years old.

All you need is enthusiasm and a sense of humour for this experience.

If you are interested in taking a workshop, apply as soon as possible; we are expecting our usual good turnout and space is limited by the number of drums available.

LEVEL II TAIKO: These are also 2.5 hours each and are for people who have taken the Level I and want more taiko. More information and registration for the classes will be available at the Level I workshops or if you have taken Level I recently and want to go into Level II, contact us.

LEVEL III TAIKO: These are also 2.5 hours each after the Level II for people who want even more taiko. You must have taken Levels I and II fairly recently to take this class

MEMBERSHIP IN KITA NO TAIKO: To be considered for membership, you must take the Level I, II, and III classes. IF you are then invited to apprentice with the group, you must:

be available to attend the Monday and Wednesday evening practices from then on;

commit to additional organized practices as well as to practicing on your own;

take on projects that support the group (we are a volunteer, not for profit organization);

be available for performances (including planning and staging) on a year-round basis.
