What people are saying about our workshops:

"San Jose Taiko's public workshops are an incredible experience. They give you an invigorating workout for mind, body and spirit... I've attended two workshops and can't wait for my third. Through a relaxed and fun atmosphere, the workshops introduce you to music-making, mind-body connection, and respect for the art. San Jose Taiko's instructors and performers are masters of the art, patient and encouraging. It was so fun to hear them play and to listen to their descriptions of the history and philosophy of taiko. When it came time for our turn, the entire class was mesmerized by the feeling of playing the big drums. I couldn't believe we could make music together after only 3 hours!"
