Recommendation Letter


In March 2010, we were hired again as teaching artists by Centrum for their Young Artist Project held at Fort Worden Park in Port Townsend. We taught over 120 middle school students the art of taiko over 2 1-week long residencies. Photos to come.

"I really appreciate all that you bring to your teaching. The kids who work with you learn discipline, cooperation, coordination and they get a background on why - the culture, the language, the tradition. It is a very unusual opportunity and I thank you for bringing it to Centrum."
Martha Worthly, Program Manager at Centrum
