Summer Taiko at Stanford - Learn Taiko NEW

The goal of the camp is to introduce beginners to North American taiko, a dynamic and relatively new Asian American art form with roots in Japan. The philosophy of the camp is to provide an environment for participants which creates a sense of community and a positive attitude towards diversity and creativity.

Instructors for the camp are selected from performing members of San Jose Taiko and Stanford Taiko. San Jose Taiko members bring with them professional performing experience and a 26-year history of training South Bay youth through their Junior Taiko program. Members of Stanford Taiko bring considerable dedication to the art form and boundless energy and ideas for sharing taiko with others.
