TAIKO/FUE CLASSES w/Megan Chao Smith

“Each of the four classes I will teach this spring will learn a new song written by the instructor with the exception of Yataibayashi (traditional). Each song is tailored to challenge students to learn, memorize, integrate new technique, develop your ear, and step up as performers. All students are expected to perform the songs in Mu Daiko’s Student Recital and are encouraged to attend classes from January through June. If you cannot commit to this time frame, you are still welcome to attend and learn a great deal! The goal for all of these classes is to deepen your playing, physicality, stage presence, and sensibility as an ensemble member. Join these classes and be part of great fun, challenge, and joy playing new material with a committed group of fellow students.”
