PJ and Roy describe this workshop as a “master class in kumidaiko core values.” It will provide a participatory, inside look into the steadfast guiding principles of San Jose Taiko: Kata, Ki, Musical Technique, and Attitude. Participants will play with Roy and PJ in a set of fun and invigorating exercises that will strengthen and illuminate their capacity to play kumidaiko with a deeper connectedness. Come with bachi, curiosity, and an open mind.
