Private Taiko Lessons
Learn taiko one-on-one with Sensei Walter Tsushima.  If you are looking to
"accelerate" your taiko skill in a short period of time, then look elsewhere.  Private
lessons focus on the Japanese concept of
kaizen, where the key elements for
students to focus on are quality, effort, involvement, willingness to change, and
communication, all of which are the catalysts for
one to continuously improve.
Contact Sensei directly. Serious inquries only.
