Experience Japanese culture through music in a fun and energetic taiko workshop at The Japan Foundation, Sydney in Central Park!

This workshop is open to primary and high school students—parents and guardians are also welcome. Led by seasoned taiko educators and performers YuNiOn, you will explore a new world of movement and music.

Thinking of joining us for an hour of taiko fun? Don’t forget to wear comfortable clothing, bring along some bottled water, and (most importantly) come with a smile on your face and lots of energy. Sense of rhythm is optional, we’re sure you’ll pick it up on the day!
