On Tuesday and Wednesday students in grades 4 & 5 participated in a 2- day workshop with Winnipegís Japanese Drumming ensemble, Fubuki Daiko. Working on practice tire drums, students learned several drumming techniques and combined them to create a unique drum piece for their classroom. Our students were taught how to rotate through their practice lines so that all students had several chances to play the large Taiko drums. These beautiful drums were hand made by Hiroshi and Naomi of Fubuki Daiko!
After two 45-minute sessions over the two days, students in Rooms 15, 16, & 18 performed their drum piece for all Linwood students in the auditorium. Fubuki Daiko closed the sharing session with an awesome performance that left us wanting more!
A huge "Thank You!" to Fubuki Daiko for introducing us to the fascinating music and culture of Japan and for teaching us Taiko Drumming!
