About the Teacher
Art Lee first began the study of taiko in 1993 from the Sacramento Taiko Dan
with whom he became a featured performer and instructor.
He later joined one of the world's most famed taiko groups, Za Ondekoza,
for their U.S. and Japan Tour, which culminated in a landmark concert at Carnegie Hall.
Art Lee became a solo performer after moving to Japan in 1998.
And on November 14th, 2001, Art exploded onto the world scene
when he became the first person in the world ever to be granted an
unsponsored artist visa from the Japanese government to teach, perform,
and lead the life of a Professional Taiko Artist in Japan.
On October 15th, 2005, Art took another massive step in the world of Taiko
when he became the first non-Japanese to win
First Place in the Solo Odaiko section of the most prestigious and
renowned taiko contest in the world - The Tokyo International Wadaiko Contest.
In addition to his teaching and solo performing schedule,
he is the resident instructor of various local taiko groups in Japan
including Koihime Daiko, Suiko and Nadeshiko. He is also the Founder and
Artistic Director of Wadaiko Ensemble TOKARA, whom he has lead
to become one of Japan's most unique taiko groups, touring nationally and
internationally two to four times a year.
For six years, Art Lee was also a performing member of Osuwa Daiko - Ashura-Gumi,
which was lead by Grandmaster Daihachi Oguchi, who was famed for
creating taiko as a performance art nearly 60 years ago.
Utilizing his extensive training in both traditional and modern taiko techniques,
Art Lee continues to perform all over the world, as well as teach in both
English and Japanese to taiko enthusiasts and newcomers alike
through a variety of programs including the INADANI Taiko Drumming Course,
the TOKARA Wadaiko Camp, and an annual apprenticeship program.
