Taiko Drums at Choin Wajun Kaikan 6/23/23
It's been an eventful week and a half since I last had time to post. A week ago, we visited the Choin Wajun Kaikan and had a lesson on Taiko Drums. That was wonderful, and students made an incredible sound as they each lifted their drum sticks to a rhythm tapped out by their teacher. It was an exhilarating experience.
