Welcome to the father and daughter duo, Charles and Faith! They are calling in from Ohio and Santa Cruz respectively.
Opening Question: Name, location, how long have you been playing taiko, what is an action/gesture that describes how you are feeling right now?
Given the kind of day today is, we wanted to just play a lot of taiko to move some energy around. We started out with a quick review of some kuchishoka (taiko vocabulary) and did some call and response.
This is kind of a long video going over some of the kuchishoka. You can find similar drills like this here.
Roy Drills
We followed up with some classic Roy Drills! You can also find more Roy Drills on the PRC activities page.
Please take care of yourselves this week.
