The thing that makes this course different from an instructional DVD or an online collection of instructional videos is that you are able to correspond with me whenever you want, as many times as you want during the course.
If you have trouble playing anything, just drop me a note and we'll work on it together. Even better, upload a video to YouTube (make it private) and I will take a look and I will personally record and upload a video showing you how to improve.
The same things goes for questions unrelated to course material. If you're an advanced player and you have a question about composition, send me a video and I'll send back some suggestions.
The way the course work is:
1. Each month, a new video is made available
2. Watch the video and try out the material
3. Ask questions
4. Try working on it some more
5. Repeat
I tried to make the course useful for anyone in any style, so I incorporated a comprehensive curriculum that includes Shimedaiko, Odaiko, Bon Odori, Soloing, Collaborating, and Additional Practice Rhythms.
There are a total 6 videos in the complete course, which will take a total 6 months to complete. By the end of it, you will be a better taiko player.
