AAWF 2026! What a week!!

It was so wonderful to reconnect in Perth with friends old and new from across Australia 🫶

Thanks to all the amazing instructors for sharing their knowledge and energy, and to Simon and the Taiko On team for making this biannual festival happen 👏👏

AAWF is a great reminder that taiko is about more than drumming. It’s about community, friendship, and creating something special together 🥁💜

See you all again in two years.. wherever AAWF 2028 takes us!

🌟 Mid-Year Class Presentation 🌟

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Mid-Year Class Presentation. We were so proud to see the focus, enthusiasm and hard work shown by every student, and grateful for the warm support from family and friends. Whether it was your first time performing or you are continuing to build your skills, each performance was a valuable step in your musical journey.

We hope you left feeling inspired by the talent and progress on display. We are excited to see how much everyone grows over the next six months and look forward to celebrating your achievements again at our End of Year Concert in December. A special thank you to everyone who brought snacks and helped make the day so enjoyable. 🎶✨
