Public Workshops

You’ve seen San Jose Taiko play – now it’s your turn! Join fellow taiko enthusiasts in learning the basics of SJT’s style in a fun and engaging two and a half-hour workshop.  It's more than fun; it’s an opportunity to connect with community, find inspiration in an open and positive environment, and experience the personal empowerment inherent in taiko.

After hearing a brief history of taiko, participants learn a song based on fundamental stance, rhythms, and technique. No taiko experience is necessary, but participants must be at least 15 years old and capable of fairly rigorous physical activity.
