Pittsburgh Taiko is offering several one-day beginner workshops in August and September for people who want to try playing taiko, including if you are interested in joining our performing group. All workshops take place on Sunday from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at our studio in Bellevue, PA.

Each workshop is a 2-hour introduction to taiko, including some taiko history and culture, with a focus on hands-on basics. No previous music or percussion experience is necessary! You'll learn how to stand, how to hit, and how to play some simple patterns that come together to make a complete percussion melody.

We're excited to see you there!
