Fall Series Classes Registering Now
Thank you for your interest in taking classes and learning how to play taiko. We are excited to announce that this is the first time we are able to offer a range of taiko classes with the hopes that more people will have the opportunity to learn taiko and perhaps pick up on other skills as well.
Registration ends Friday September 25 or when all classes are at capacity.

Uchikomi/Open Practice Hours
These are dropins for extra practice or to make up a class if you miss. Price Range from $10-15, depending on if you’re a current student. Students taking a current series all get at least one complimentary uchikomi hour.
Tuesday 8:30 – 9:30 pm
Thursday 5:00 – 6:00 pm
Minimum Age of Students recommended is 16 years old due to content pacing. Please email us directly if your child is younger to see if they may still be suited for the class. Please note, we are also in the process of organizing youth classes soon after this.
Capacity for each class is kept under 10 students (except for Odaiko at 8) so please register soon to claim your spot. Each class also needs to meet a minimum capacity to move forward. If the class you registered for doesn’t meet the minimum, we will ask if you want to move to another class or we will issue you a refund.
Registration for each series comes with reusable corded earplugs to keep. Bachi (taiko sticks) will be lent out to be used in class. Options to purchase your own bachi will be made available.
Registration will close on Friday September 25 or when all classes are at capacity.
Contact naruwantaiko@gmail.com with any questions if there people are wondering about absences and or dropin opportunities. Note that private lessons are always still available as an option…just let us know if you wish to do that! We can’t wait to drum with you!
