NATC 2025 Phoenix

This workshop offers participants a comprehensive introduction to the foundational techniques of the Odaiko including grip, stance, and mechanics.

In addition to technique, attendees will develop a deeper understanding of Odaiko performance through practice methods for continued development beyond NATC, and repertoire that can be performed with their own ensembles.

Whether you are approaching the Odaiko for the first time or are a seasoned player seeking to refine your fundamentals, I hope this workshop has something to offer you.

Prerequisite/What to bring: Odaiko bachi
