Learn to play taiko with great people at an Introductory Taiko Workshop!

Join us on May 23 -or- July 5!

It’s hard to believe … but summer is just around the corner! As you’re making all your warm-weather plans, don’t forget to schedule in time for taiko!

If you or someone you know is ready to try taiko for the very first time, this summer is the perfect time to sign up for one of our Introductory Taiko Workshops. We’ve got one on Saturday, May 23 (in Fairfax) and one on Sunday, July 5 (in Takoma Park). These workshops regularly sell out, so if you want to join us, don’t wait! Sign up today!

And if you’re one of our current students, stay tuned … we’ll have another fun summer of “Build Your Own Taiko Bento” workshops coming up this summer for you too!

Give the gift of taiko this holiday season!

Are you looking for the perfect gift for someone this holiday? Or are the Santas in your life asking what to put in your stocking?

May we humbly suggest … the gift of taiko!

When you give someone a workshop with Mark H, you’re …

gifting an experience and a memory instead of stuff
introducing someone to a great community
AND supporting an amazing local business!

Know someone who’d like to try taiko for the first time?

Be a holiday hero! An Introductory Taiko Workshop is the perfect place to begin and a GREAT way to kick off the new year! We’ve got two coming up: Saturday, January 3rd (in Fairfax) and Sunday, January 11 (in Takoma Park).

Just sign them up here and then contact Mark H so we can email you a beautiful gift card that you can print, personalize, and give to that lucky person.

Got a more experienced taiko aficionado on your list?

The winter session of our Rec Class and Styles Class will be starting up in late January and there are always more fun workshops around the corner too. Not sure what the right choice is? All you have to do is contact Mark H and he can help you sort out the perfect gift for your fave taiko player.

Happy holidays from all of us here at Mark H Taiko!

We know we’re all still soaking up the summer vibes … but whether you can’t wait for those cozy fall days to get here or you’re dreading the end of sunny days at the pool (or the ice cream shop … yes, we see you too!) … fall *is* on its way! And if you want taiko to be a part of your fall, NOW is the time to put us on your calendar!

For our current students, our fall class session will kick off in late September (more info on that coming soon), but if you are NEW to taiko and want to see what it feels like to hit those big drums, plan to join us for an Introductory Taiko Workshop on either Sunday, Sept 7 OR Sunday, Sept 14 from 5-8pm in Takoma Park!
