About
Japanese Taiko Drumming introduces participants to Japanese Taiko drumming using large drums, body movement, vocalization, and various instruments. Classes focus on rhythm and drumming through games, songs, dance, and drumming. All drums are provided, and no drumming experience is necessary.

• Schedule: Weekly Wednesday classes in multiple sessions from November through March, with separate class times for children, teens/adults, and Silver/Parkinson’s participants

Japanese Taiko drumming has been played in Japan for over 2000 years, and the word taiko means big drum. The Silver/Parkinson’s class is for persons with Parkinson’s and their care partners or families and is at a relaxed pace with modified movements. The Silver/Parkinson’s program will promote communication, allow for shared activity, provide emotional support, and encourage physical activity.
