Bio's:
STAN SHIKUMA - Instructor/Director
I have been been playing taiko since 1981. For me, taiko is a synthesis of rhythm, movement and spirit. I enjoy exploring and expanding on each aspect as I teach and share taiko with players of all levels, especially the members of KAZE DAIKO.
Besides performing and composing taiko pieces, I also like to write about taiko. I've written articles on the history and development of taiko, a syllabus for a children's taiko class and several taiko training sheets.
Besides taiko, I enjoy camping, clamming and hiking with my wife, Tracy, and our two children, Misa and Kiyoshi. Oh, yes -- in my spare time I work as a Registered Nurse at the University of Washington Medical Center.
