Team Taiko is joining the San Pedro Holiday Parade. Learn how to taiko in a parade. We will practice how to wear the drum and march while playing.
Taiko is a Japanese drumming style that, over the last several decades, has become a global phenomenon. Since 2013, Grand Vision has partnered with leading taiko instructors to bring the art form to the South Bay.
Taiko Artist ManMan Mui guides participants toward a repertoire of drumming techniques and patterns. Sessions include developing rhythmic sensibility, body awareness, breath and strength training as students make music together as a team.
If you would like to drum in the parade, please be sure to select your shirt size when you register.
