Taiko drumming is a nice way to release some pandemic steam. Under the direction of local instructor Mac Evans, check out a weekly series of repertoire-learning workshops. Develop your Taiko skills with a view of the cherry blossom trees in the scenic backdrop of Shofuso’s historic 17th century architecture in West Fairmount Park. Wear comfortable clothing fit for outdoor weather. Leave jewelry at home. Drums and bachi (drumsticks) will be provided; no experience is required. Free, 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays.
