Yokomenuchi | Kazakoshi Taiko Class
Yokomenuchi Style
(Four Week Session - Once a week)
Technique on how to play a more powerful Yokomenuchi style and solo.

Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of Yokomenuchi (sideways-style of playing the taiko drum). Tokara's unique Yokomenuchi style focuses not only on how to hit, but continuous fluid movement for both upper and lower body.

While training in this style, participants will also be able to use these methods while learning parts of the piece "NatsuNokori" with particular focus on the wide sweeping movements and left-hand originating rhythms of the "Main Course" sections.
