St. Louis Osuwa Taiko

Adult Class Registration

Mission

St. Louis Osuwa Taiko's Community Group is for those of you who want to play taiko but don't have much experience, or who can't devote 10+ hours per week to taiko. You will learn the basics of sticking, kata (form), movement, theory, and rhythms of taiko, plus some pieces you can play. Opportunities will be available to advance to the performance group if you want!

In addition to the benefits of good exercise that taiko provides, it helps improve self-awareness, rhythm, and concentration. It can also relieve stress and is a lot of fun!

Participants must be at least 16 years old and have at least one arm.

Waiver

Note that taiko is a very physical activity. To participate in our beginner class, it is helpful if you are in good enough physical shape to handle a reasonable amount of exercise.

I understand that in the course of learning taiko -- like any activity -- I may sustain physical injury. I recognize that any injury is in no way the fault of St. Louis Osuwa Taiko or its members, and I agree to hold them blameless should any such injury occur.

I have read the waiver above and agree to its terms.
