Year 7 Japanese Drumming

On 22 May, all of the Year 7 Japanese students got the amazing opportunity to learn about and play Japanese drums, or known in Japan as Taiko. We were introduced to our teachers, Ayako sensei and Shin sensei, who gave us a welcoming performance with the help of Tankovitch sensei, before teaching us the basics of Japanese drumming. 

We did multiple activities using the numbers we had learned in class, and to better understand the drums before Ayako and Shin pulled out their biggest drum for us to take turns playing. Even Twilley Sensei got in on the action! 

We finished off by singing Happy Birthday as a group to our teacher, Shin. Overall, it was a great experience to get the chance to play the drums, and therefore, we are extremely grateful.
