More Taiko drumming workshops!

Our second Taiko workshop in 2024 is open to all 12+.

Much fun was had in our January workshop. There were 8 people aged 17-‘ancient’. Some completely new to Taiko, some have been before to one of our courses. They learnt how to approach the drums, and quite a few basic rhythms that interlaced with each other. The drums were loud, and it was really nice to see people smiling when enjoying a new cool combination of hits and choreography. We had the big drum out as well, and had a round of really energetic playing. It wasn’t just about drumming – a really nice time was spent together, meeting new people and old friends, catching up after a few years, seeing children growing up.

We are continuing with this offering of a monthly opportunity to get hooked on Taiko.

Come with your family or your friends, make music, increase your heart rate, and be LOUD .

Taiko workshop for adults and young people (12+)

We are starting 2024 with an invite to join us in an enjoyable, energizing, and musical session of drumming suitable for all adults and young people over the age of 12.

What to expect? experience the power of our big drums, increase your heart rate, meet new people, feel the vibrations through your core, make music and have fun.

You will learn how to stand behind the drum, how to hit it to make a good sound, and a few rhythms to play along a base beat. All in a friendly and positive manner, where you can leave everything outside the room and give the drum and the group your full attention.

Date: Sunday 28th January, 11:00-12:30

Spring Workshop

[This one was cancelled and will be rescheduled when life gets back to what it used to be – stay tuned!]

What is it about taiko? is it the drums themselves? maybe the rhythms? or the power? the movement? the community created in a room of strangers trying to achieve something in unison? the freedom to shout when anywhere else we need to be polite? the endorphins that come with continuous physical activity? why not come and see for yourself?
