User:Lizwalters/Taiko in the UK

Liz Walters (Taiko) in the UK - www.taikoschool.com - Liz Walters has been performing and teaching Taiko in the UK, Japan, Europe and Worldwide since 1996. Her Japanese Teacher (Kurumaya Masaaki - www.1taiko.com )and UK Teachers (Neil Mackie & Miyuki Williams www.mugenkyo.com) have been her constant inspiration. Liz teaches regular Classes and facilitates Public and Private workshops throughout the UK, and annually helps facilitate International Taiko Courses in Japan. She is also invited regularly to Europe to teach those who wish to learn the challenging Mitsu Uchi and Ad Lib style of Taiko which comes from the Hokuriku area of Japan - known as the 'Hotbed of Taiko'. Taiko-Do (the Way of Taiko) features very strongly in Liz's teachings as she believes that Taiko is not merely about learning rhythms but about the respectful and committed approach to this traditional style of Drumming.
