Taiko Classes

Austin Taiko is excited to announce its class schedule for the beginning of 2025!

Beginner Taiko
Description

No previous music experience necessary. At this level, you will be introduced to the basics of taiko and we will walk you through how to read our sheet music.

Each beginner class will focus on one song, possibly reviewing previous songs depending on the group. Since there are 4 songs that are prerequisites for the intermediate class, beginners will need to take at least 4 classes in order to progress to the next level. Progressing to the next level is proficiency-based .It is expected that students will need to repeat classes before moving on to the next level.
