You can catch the Taiko students performing “Circular” at Winterfest at King’s Island in Cincinnati on December 4th and at Mississinawa Valley School on December 13. Lilly Severance had help from Culture Couch producer Susan Byrnes. I think that is something to be celebrated. While Taiko may play different roles in each of our lives, we all share the same love for the art. Taiko performers have created a circle of their own. We were all proud of learning difficult rhythms, and we all made lasting memories with in Taiko. We all had the stage fright of performing for the first time, and we all messed up a rhythm or two.
Every Taiko player started with “don” and “ka.” We all watched famous Taiko players and wanted to be just like them. To Taiko drummers, it means something much more. To someone from the outside, Taiko is just people drumming. This was 2008 when we had the Ohio Arts Council residency and during that residency we went over after pizza and did a performance at the Greenville Nursing Home, and the students played, and I thought that intergenerational connection and the sharing of the culture was wonderful." "Back then I was very excited that the young students were going to have a whole other level of buy-in to learning the drums because they helped make the drums. "Let’s see, I remember that we made drums, and it’s rare that we make drums at a residency, Eric Paton replied.
I asked him, "What are two things you remember about your time at Mississinawa?" Hathaway and I talked to Eric Paton, the musician who first brought Taiko to our school. And such is life, the void of nothingness, the beauty of life, and at the end, perfect harmony. It symbolizes the void of nothingness and the beauty of the universe. The symbol of strength and enlightenment, a perfect meditative inner peace. Circle, enso, the culmination of everything true in the universe. One of the composers who read the statement wrote about the meaning of the song. And then the 'Ji' which is that da dat da dat da dat, that’s the underlying rhythm, and then they create rhythms to go with it.' So right now that’s kind of what we’re working on." "If we don’t have a theme, then it doesn’t go that well because we don’t know what we’re working toward, and most Taiko pieces will have a nature theme, or things like that, so that’s generally what we start with. Hathaway, Mississinawa Valley's music teacher. It’s called “Circular,” and it refers to the enso, or circle symbol in Zen Buddhism and Japanese calligraphy. Hathaway worked with some students in my Taiko group to create an original drum composition that they’ll perform for the holidays. When we hit a drum head, we call it a “don,” and when we hit a drum rim it’s referred to as a “ka.” We are given very large sticks and we call them our “bachi.” We can choose between an okedo, a nagada, or shime drum to drum on with our bachi. It only uses a few different sounds but it creates a variety of music. Taiko is a form of Japanese drumming that is very expressive. Although, I would have to say that Taiko is the most unique. I am involved in several things here at Mississinawa. My name is Lilly Severance, and I am a junior at Mississinawa Valley High School. One of the students is also a Taiko drummer, so Susan asked her to tell the story. After all that time, the drumming program is still going strong, thanks to the dedication of the music teacher, Audrey Hathaway.
It turns out that thirteen years ago, a musician came here to teach students kids about Taiko. A grant from the Ohio Arts Council brought WYSO's Susan Byrnes to this small school, set among the cornfields, to create art with students.
