Taiko (Japanese drumming) is a fun, cultural activity that helps improve physical activity, stress management, cognitive engagement, and social support. The class will cover taiko history and etiquette, San Jose Taiko’s philosophy, and basic playing techniques, which emphasize large amplitude movements, full extensions, trunk rotation, and using a loud voice. Care partners or family members are welcome to sign up and participate as well. No experience necessary, and appropriate accommodations will be provided for those who need it. Registration is required.
