These classes teach traditional and contemporary Japanese drumming (wadaiko). **Beginning Taiko** class focuses on basic rhythm, taiko technique, form and traditional pieces. Participants must supply their own taiko bachi (drum sticks) after the first class.

**Intermediate Taiko** class focuses on refining beginning pieces and more intricate, challenging, techniques, kata and pieces. Participants must supply their own taiko bachi. Prerequisite for intermediate taiko is to play 3 pieces with correct technique, dynamics and kata in front of jury of players.

Classes and practice are done on practice drums with padding. End of term recitals and classes are played on real taiko.
