In week 4 Japanese students from Year 7, 8 and Middle School participated in a Taiko Workshop with Kiyomi-Sensei. This cultural incursion gave our students the opportunity to try Taiko Drumming, an ancient traditional style of drumming from Japan that involves co-ordination, teamwork and discipline.

The students enjoyed learning the drumming techniques and by the end of their session could play a basic Taiko rhythm. It was lots of fun and great for students to gain an insight into an aspect of Japanese culture.
