Taiko (Japanese drumming) uses the entire body to create an energetic and rhythmic sound.
Taiko is believed to have been introduced in Japan through the cultural influences of Korea and China and even has a mythical origin in Japanese folklore.
Throughout history, the function has ranged from communication, military action, theatrical accompaniment, religious ceremony, festival performances and entertainment.
The class allows students to explore their “inner drummer;” by the end of the class, students will have learned how to play a short taiko piece.
Class instructor, Rhythms in Life (RIL) offers a variety of workshops aiming to engage students to experience letting go and allowing more “flow” into life.
Through rhythm activities, the workshops encourage creativity, innovation, and an appreciation of the diversity of culture and abilities.
RIL was founded by Elaine N.
Fong who has 30+ years of experience in music, percussion, teaching, fundraising and non-profits.
