Our beginner taiko classes and workshops are listed below.
All Ages Recreational Taiko (AART)
6 week session
Saturdays, 2:30-4:30pm
SEPT 26 – OCT 31, 2020
Rhythm Industry Performance Factory
1013 S. Tyndall
Your taiko training with Odaiko Sonora begins with All Ages Recreational Taiko. This class is designed for all ages and abilities, for those new to taiko and those wishing to promote physical and spiritual health through taiko or to focus on technique and learn new songs. We focus on one song from the Odaiko Sonora repertoire and drills that support it. Once you have a few AART sessions under your belt, you can ask to join the Community Group.
Class sizes are limited to 6 students and will be masked and distanced. Our 3,500 sq ft studio has high ceilings, ample air flow, transitional areas for reducing contact transmission, and sanitizing stations. Participants will be required to fill out a short questionnaire regarding health and safety to ensure all students are comfortable and having their needs met. Weather permitting, some sessions may be conducted outdoors. Please email info@tucsontaiko.org for more information.
First class is obligation-free. If you like the first class and decide to sign up for the full 6-week session, the cost is $120. Contact us to register, or pay with PayPal or major credit card here:
