Japanese Drumming Workshop

By Danielle Madsen, Languages Coordinator

Year 8 Japanese students participated in a Japanese Drumming Workshop last week that was led by Kiyomi Sensei, a professional Taiko drummer.

The students were taught the drumming techniques for the traditional instrument and learnt how to play different rhythms on the drum.
