Taiko for Beginners

We offer Fundamentals of Taiko classes, for both beginners and experienced players. We start with the basics of taiko (forms, stances, strikes, etc.), learning different rhythms and patterns, and ultimately combine these skills in a group performance. No prior experience necessary and all equipment is provided. Children 12 and over are also welcome with parental supervision.

Classes are on Wednesdays from 7:30pm – 9pm, and the cost is $80/per month. All classes take place at KyoDaiko’s dojo, in the Wynnefield section of Philadelphia.

We are on summer vacation in July and August, but classes will resume in September.

Contact kyodaiko.info@gmail.com for more information and to reserve your spot. We hope to see you there!
