This intensive workshop is designed for those who already play in a taiko team or have solid taiko experience. Under the guidance of Ryo Shiobara, Odaiko Solo Champion and internationally acclaimed taiko performer from Japan, participants will dive deeper into technique, form, and musical expression.
We will also practice a traditional Japanese festival-style piece (ohayashi), focusing on ensemble playing and musical communication.
We will take a 30-minute break during the day. Food is not included.
What to bring:
Earplugs or hearing protection
Comfortable clothes and indoor shoes
Water bottle
Note: This workshop is intended for those who have practiced taiko regularly for at least six months. It is not suitable for beginners.
This is a rare opportunity to train closely with a top-level taiko artist. Be ready to sweat, listen, refine your sound — and go beyond!
