About this Class
This 8-week advanced 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.
The Winter 2023 session of the Styles Class will continue to 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. In this session, we’ll take a more in-depth look at odaiko technique and form while also encouraging everyone to develop their own solos and styles of expression.
Prerequisite: Previous odaiko study – more than just one workshop – or instructor’s advance permission (Not sure if this class is right for you? Just ask Mark H!)
Bummer … This class is sold out!
Want to get on the waitlist? Contact Mark H and he’ll let you know if a spot opens up for you. Never fear … there’s always more great taiko around the corner. The next class series is coming soon!
