Dublin Taiko, based in Dublin, Ohio, provides hands-on learning opportunities about the Japanese drumming art of Taiko through education, cultural exchange and performances.

We are the largest K–12 taiko program in
North America. Since 2005, Director Susann Blair-Ewing has taught 6-12

Originally developed in collaboration with world-renowned taiko artist,

its 21-year history. Dublin Taiko has also shared its vibrant performances at
