Pittsburgh Taiko is holding its second introductory workshop of the fall on Sunday, September 20.
Try taiko drumming with Pittsburgh Taiko!
Pittsburgh Taiko's beginner workshops give you a taste of taiko in a one-day, 2-hour format. These workshops are designed for people who just want to give taiko a try, or folks who might be interested in joining our performing group.
No experience is necessary!
Taiko combines energetic hits with calm focus, balances group unity with individual expression, and requires both power and subtlety.
Each workshop is a 2-hour introduction to taiko, including some taiko history and culture and focusing on hands-on basics. You’ll learn how to stand, how to hit, and some simple patterns that come together to make a percussion melody.
Workshops are from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at our studio in Bellevue. The workshops are designed for adults and older kids (high school or older).
Note that our studio is a masked space, and unfortunately it is not accessible to folks who can't climb stairs.
Please read the information at pittsburghtaiko.com/classes before registering.
Classes are held at 2 N Balph Ave, Bellevue, PA 15202, Second Floor (map). The cost is $30 for Japan-America Society of Pennsylvania members and students, and $40 for the general public. Space is limited and as of this post there are six spots remaining.
