Registration for the 2012 1st Quarter Community group is currently open!

St. Louis Osuwa Taiko's community group is for those of you who want to play taiko but don't have much experience, or who can't devote 10+ hours per week to taiko. The group runs in three month sessions for $45 / month. You will learn the basics of sticking, kata (form), movement, theory, and rhythms of taiko, plus some pieces you can play. Opportunities will be available to advance to the performance group if you want!
 
The next session starts January 8th and continue through March 25th.
 
In addition to the benefits of good exercise that taiko provides, it helps improve self-awareness, rhythm, and concentration. It can also relieve stress and is a lot of fun! Space is limited, so sign up today! We will contact selected participants by e-mail before the classes begin. (Make sure that e-mail from @stltaiko.com will not be caught in your spam filter.) Participants must be at least 16 years old and have at least one arm.

Time: 1-3pm
Place: St. Louis Taiko Center near Page and Lindbergh.(Details will be provided by email to selected participants well before class starts)
Cost: $135 for the 3 month session

Waiver

Note that taiko is a very physical activity. To participate in our beginner class, it is helpful if you are in good enough physical shape to handle a reasonable amount of exercise.

I understand that in the course of learning taiko -- like any activity -- I may sustain physical injury. I recognize that any injury is in no way the fault of St. Louis Osuwa Taiko or its members, and I agree to hold them blameless should any such injury occur.

I have read the waiver above and agree to its terms.
