Highlights

Hello! This is Eva from Eva Kestner International Taiko Drum Academy. I am a professional and accomplished taiko drummer and instructor. I was the founder and first musical directorof Cornell University's Taiko Drumming group, I have received the excellency award from the Tokyo University of Arts New Artists Competition, and my original music is now published by Harper Collins and Cambridge International Curriculum which sets a global standard for education and employment. Experience the wonderful Japanese taiko drums through a 90 minute workshop where I will be teaching the taiko drums in English. We will go through the foundation training, rhythm training, and learn a traditional and contemporary taiko drumming piece. I will also give a short performance and brief taiko drumming history explanation. Furthermore, you will receive a personalized video of you playing the taiko drums. This is a boutique style, intimate, and authentic taiko drumming experience you will never forget.

About Tokyo

Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.

Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
