FAQ Section
Q: What’s the difference between the 12pm class and the 1pm class?
A: The content will be exactly the same. Both classes will include stretches, basic SJT technique, and activities to improve short-term memory.
Q: If I sign up for the 12pm class but can’t make it at that time one week, can I attend the 1pm class on that week (or vice versa)?
A: Yes, if you let your teacher know at least one day before that class.
Q: Can I observe a class?
A: Yes. Before doing so, please email the instructor at meg(at)taiko(dot)org to schedule a class time.
Q: Can I sign up for one trial class?
