Katsugi Okedo (Beginners) | December 15 (Tu) 6:15-7:15pm | Ryuji Hamada
This is the second of two Beginner sessions on Katsugi Okedo. Ryuji will take you through the basic stance, grip, body positions and movement of the ‘shoulder drum’, plus introduce you to some typical Katsugi Okedo rhythms. Because of the number of instruments available to us, this class is limited to seven, so book early! There is another Beginner class on Tuesday December 8.
