Taiko with Toni

Festival Fun with Taiko

Taiko with Toni offers an introduction to the Japanese culture through folktales and the fun-filled Japanese Festival or "Matsuri.” With the Taiko (Japanese drum) and other Japanese instruments, hands-on physical activity for students, and the use of the Japanese language, Toni Yagami hopes that students will learn to recognize the difference and similarities between their own culture and the Japanese culture.
