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 units under your belt, you can ask to join the Community Group.
Classes will be masked and distanced, and may be held outdoors depending on class size. 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 session, the cost is $120. Contact us to register, or pay with PayPal or major credit card here:
