About Our Classes
Taiko Classes and Workshops
New students are invited to start with a Taiko 101 workshop. Afterward or simultaneously, students can enroll in the Beginning Taiko class. Select students will be encouraged to enroll in an intermediate or advanced class which concentrates on form, timing, ensemble playing, soloing and improvisation. If you have previous taiko experience or any questions, please contact us at classes@portlandtaiko.org so we can determine the best class for you.
All workshops and classes are held in person at the Oregon Buddhist Temple (3720 SE 34th Avenue) unless otherwise specified. Please read the information below about health and safety protocols and our refund policy before registering. Scholarships are available. Contact us at classes@portlandtaiko.org or call 503.288.2456 with questions or for more info.
We hope to drum with you soon!
