My Kodo Workshop Series at Taiko no Sato Kyowakan: Elementary & Intermediate Courses<\/h2>\n

\"Photo:
\nIn October 2014, I started teaching an eight-lesson workshop series at Taiko-no Sato Kyowakan in Tokyo and now there’s only one lesson to go! The two courses are working hard on different pieces: the Elementary Course is practicing\u00a0Toki no Koe<\/span> and the Intermediate Course is playing Atatte Kudakero<\/span>. Each lesson lasts just 90 minutes, but I hear that the\u00a0participants are renting studio space to practice on their own and taking other classes, too. I am constantly astounded by how passionate they are about playing taiko!<\/p>\n

On May 31 at Kyowakan’s annual\u00a0recital, “Kyowasai<\/a>,” the participants will perform to demonstrate\u00a0what they have learned during the course. But the emphasis is not on\u00a0“showing” people: the focus is on\u00a0the participants enjoying\u00a0playing taiko. They are all practicing hard together in hopes that the audience will feel like they are drumming along with them as they hear the pieces played live.<\/p>\n
