Reviews
Great Taiko experience. You quickly learn the rhythms and can play in harmony in no time. The instructors are bilingual and very friendly. I highly recommend it for an activity that's a bit different!
Located right in the heart of Gion. There were three of us students with two young and friendly teachers. The class is well-structured. In just one hour, we learned several different rhythms. A super experience!
Very interesting and a real challenge in terms of pace. Excellent welcome and support.
Lot's of my understanding! lovely instructors.
