About This Activity
Description
The children’s taiko drum class is a fun and energetic experience where young participants learn the art of playing traditional Japanese drums. Children begin by learning rhythm, coordination, and teamwork through simple exercises and patterns. The atmosphere is lively and supportive, with lots of movement and excitement as the children get to bang on the large, powerful drums. Throughout the class, emphasis is placed on concentration, discipline, and respect, as well as having fun and expressing creativity through music. By the end, children not only improve their rhythm and coordination but also gain a deeper appreciation for the rich traditions of Japanese culture.
