Stuart Paton, of Burlington Taiko, is offering Taiko and Conga lessons in Rihcmond starting next Thursday, Sept 14 at the library.

For those who aren't familiar with the Burlington Taiko group - Taiko is Japanese festival drumming.

Taiko is fun - great exercise - and feeds the spirit. It's like a 50 minute vacation froms cares and stress - plus - you can beat the heck out of something without getting arrested!

It is wonderful that Stuart is coming to Richmond - saves us all gas money.

But - we need more people to join the classes so he can justify coming our our way.

There are classes for families (kids with adults), or just adults. Something for everyone. These are mostly beginner classes - so don't worry about how you look or not having any musical ability.

Call Burlington Taiko 658-0658 to register. There may be flyers in the Richmond library, too.

Try Taiko - you'll love it!
