I recently added to my website a bibliography of taiko-related books, articles, and other publications, brought together from data I've been compiling in Endnote and Zotero for a while. Check it out at www.benpachter.com/research/tai....

I’m starting to refresh my website. Standard context - CV, summary of research - but a new addition is going to be a blog. I realized that I needed an outlet for writing practice, as for a long time my writing was restricted to work purposes.

I’m conducting interviews of people teaching taiko in K-12 settings. It’s been fascinating to learn more about this part of the taiko world that doesn’t get talked about much. It’s also pointing me in the direction of a few topics I need to research more. (1/2)

Delurking to test the waters and see what it’s like here. Didn’t really use Twitter much for personal purposes so the format is a little unfamiliar. We’ll see what happens!
