Our Taiko Experience


We have a lot of experience with Taiko. In Taiko we learned how to count 1-10 and we learned some Japanese words. We learned some songs and we got some experience from playing and remembering those songs. We had so much experience from performing in front of our school we got perform in the Martin Luther King parade. We got courage from our experience and that's how we did the performances.

We could probably do a lot of performances with all our experience. Every day we would spend about 50 minutes every day. That's how we got our experience. If you want to be at Taiko you should practice a lot to get experience. We would have never done any of this without the help of Esther Vandecar. Thank you Esther.
