Hi! I’m from south Seattle and I love my city! I like going on long neighborhood walks with my mom and grabbing tea with my sister. I spend summers at my grandparents’ house and enjoy surfing every morning with my dad. I’ve grown up loving the outdoors and hope to sustain it.
I started playing taiko and playing with Hidaka Taiko this year because I wanted to try something new and get more involved in student life. In my first practice I met very friendly and welcoming students who had big love for taiko! The students’ enthusiasm and skill made me want to join in on the fun.
What I love about Hidaka Taiko... The people! I really appreciate the instrument and the songs. I think they are very impressive and beautiful. But, Hidaka Taiko is filled with people who are kind, fun, and just as excited about Taiko as I am! Everyone is so encouraging and wants to help each other improve. It’s a really great group of people. |
