About this Class
This 8-week intermediate class will help students explore, develop, and enjoy different kinds of taiko. Mark H uses guided feedback to help you understand the movement and mechanics of a given style. This class moves at a faster pace than the Rec Class and is appropriate for students looking to learn new techniques for the first time or for more established players who want to develop their form and taiko vocabulary.
Back by popular demand: the Fall 2022 session of the Styles Class will focus on ODAIKO!
Odaiko is a challenging style that defines a pursuit for many taiko players around the world. This powerful style demands stamina and body-mechanical awareness in a big way. We will focus on fundamentals like stance, strike and sound as well as build on endurance and control.
Prerequisite: Recommended at least 3 Rec Class series or 1 year of taiko experience (Not sure if this class is right for you? Just ask Mark H!)
Bummer … This class is sold out!
