Might be hard to think about moving to Hawaii at this time but please consider submitting an application!
The situation with coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to develop and we have been monitoring the situation around the clock.
Everyone’s health and safety is of utmost importance. We apologize for this late notice but Taiko Center of the Pacific (TCP) has decided to cancel all classes until April 5. Spring Session II will thus become a 3-week session rather than the planned 6-week session. Students who have already paid the full tuition for Spring Session II will receive a refund for half the session. If you choose to withdraw for the rest of Spring II, you will be refunded less the first week of classes. If you decide to withdraw for the rest of this session, please email:
taikoarts@gmail.com
We plan to resume classes on April 5 however, we will reassess the situation as the date draws nearer.
We sincerely apologize for this sudden and late notice but felt this was in the best interest of all at this time of uncertainty. We thank you for your kokua and understanding.
Sincerely,
Taiko Center of the Pacific
