workshops
Workshops allow participants to try Japanese drumming for fun. We offer beginner and intermediate workshops for those looking for a new experience, and also an advanced workshop for those who are interested in even more taiko or apprenticing in the group. Apprenticeship is the route to becoming a member of Kita no Taiko.
We offer workshops biannually, but you can also book private workshops for your friends and family, or for your event. Contact us to see what we can arrange for you!
Our beginner workshop introduces participants to taiko. We will cover the fundamentals of playing, musical notation, and will learn a song. Participants can expect to use their bodies and their brains to experience what taiko is all about!
