Tiffany has an extremely wide array of skills, and foremost among them is her mastery of the odaiko (Grand Drum).

Along with the Taikoz team, a wide range of taiko and taiko-related activities will be offered, including a focus on odaiko technique and approach with Tiffany. Over the course of three days, from Friday the 8th to Sunday the 10th of January, together we will delve into Taiko no Sekai – The World Of The Drum!

Tiffany's determination and perseverance, through long hours of gruelling practice in her initial studies, transformed her sense of life's possibilities, which she now does for others. As founder and artistic director of three active taiko groups, her vitality reaches extremely diverse audiences throughout North America, Europe, and Japan.
