Building community through taiko performance and education in Northwest Ohio.
Our Values
We strive to create an inclusive and fun environment where we work together to promote the art of taiko.
Inclusivity
We believe that everyone should be able to have access to taiko regardless of age, race, gender, socioeconomic status or disability.
Respect
We strive to respect everyone that we interact with. We respect each other, our students, our rehearsal and performance spaces, and our audience.
Education
One of our goals is to share the art of taiko with our community. We do this through school events, festivals, and classes. We are all students and continue to learn from each other and the taiko community.
Community
We strive to build up taiko in our community, as well as be involved in the taiko community. Community builds connections and support.
