"The drumming activity that we took part in was really interesting because it combined music and Japanese. I like that it combined both because I don't know much about Japanese but I do know about music. This meant I was able to learn new things while using the knowledge I already had. Overall, I really enjoyed it and thought it was worthwhile. I would take part in something li it again if it were to come up again." Year 9 Girl "She was a very good Japanese drum teacher." "The Japanese drumming performance workshop was inspiring and memorable." "The different drums that she brought were great." "It was very interesting and I learned about the taiko and how to play it and what to do and not do." Kiyomi’s comments are on our facebook. Please support us on facebook! We provide our services in NSW and interstates in Australia. If you are in a remote area please consider contacting to other schools in your region to organise our Regional Tour.

Miura Taiko - Taiko Shokunin

- Taiko Maker

Kazuya Miura, 6 Daime Yaichi, Taiko Shokunin (6th Generation of Miura Taiko Maker), is a friend and inspiration to our Director/Instructor. We asked Miura Daiko’s permission to show this video on our website because many students asked about how to make Taiko.
