Join us Sunday, April 9!

Our Intro Workshops for this spring have been filling up FAST – and one of them is already completely SOLD OUT! So we’ve added a THIRD Introductory Taiko Workshop on Sunday, April 9 from 5 – 8PM!

If you want to work off some of those Cadbury Eggs (or just want some time with other adults after spending your morning with little ones who’ve been enjoying all that Easter candy, haha…), join us for a fun and energizing evening of taiko at this Easter edition of our Introductory Taiko Workshop!

These spots are going to go FAST with all the extra interest in taiko during Cherry Blossom season, so don’t wait … register today!

Registration + More Info

Give taiko a try this spring!

There’s no doubt about it: spring is THE BEST TIME for taiko in the DC Area! The National Cherry Blossom Festival offers lots of opportunities to see taiko (and pssssst, if you wanna see a whole bunch of amazing taiko performances in one day, don’t miss our Sakura Taiko Fest!) … and it’s really hard to see taiko without wanting to give it a try!

Ready to hit the big drums yourself? We’ve got you covered with TWO Introductory Taiko Workshops coming up this spring! Join us on either Saturday, April 22 OR Sunday, April 23 in Takoma Park and learn what it’s like to play a drum with your whole body!

These workshops have been selling out fast even WITHOUT Cherry Blossom season going on, and we know there will be even more folx who are eager to get in on the fun. Beat the rush and register today!

DOMO ARIGATOU GOZAIMASHITA! ありがとうございました!

THANK YOU to all of the awesome folx who have been part of the Mark H Taiko community in 2022!

Our deep gratitude goes out to all of our wonderful students, to the members of Miyako Taiko and MHTX, to all of the phenomenal peeps who attended and supported CONNECT 2022, to the groups that joined us at the return of the Sakura Taiko Fest, and to every single person who’s taken a workshop, attended a performance, watched a livestream, or made a donation in 2022. We would not be here without your amazing energy and support. 🙂

Lots of great taiko coming up in 2023!

Of course we have loads of cool stuff coming up next year – from workshops to performances to another amazing Sakura Taiko Fest to plenty of #randomactsoftaiko! Here’s what’s coming up in January alone …

Introductory Taiko Workshop on 21 January!

There are just a few spots left in our next Intro Workshop, so if you have been wanting to try taiko for the first time (or you know someone who does), this is the perfect time!

Winter Classes beginning on 22 January!
Recreational Taiko Class 2022

We have three amazing classes coming up this winter session…

As always, our Adult Recreational Taiko Class is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to have hit the big drums in a fun, friendly, and supportive atmosphere!

This winter, our Skills Class will focus on Set Playing and it’s gonna be fun and challenging class for those who’d like to try out playing more than one taiko at a time!

And our Styles Class will continue to work on their Odaiko skills this winter, helping students with previous odaiko experience develop their own styles of soloing and expression.

Don’t miss out!

We know the holidays can be a busy time of year, but trust us … take a few minutes and register TODAY! You do NOT want to miss out on all this amazing taiko and our workshops and classes nearly always fill up!

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