UPCOMING WORKSHOPS IN 2024

---

SATURDAY 25th MAy 2024

Full day Taiko workshop suitable for beginners through to intermediate level.

During this workshop day, we will be looking at 2 different styles of playing.
We will go through the basics of each style, working on technique, body movement, drills and patterns, leading into playing a short piece.
Each session lasts 3 hours (including a 10 min break), with an hour break for lunch in between.

Morning session - Odaiko (big drums on tall stands)  10am - 1pm
Playing the mighty Odaiko drum can be a powerful and exhilarating experience,
allowing the deep tones to reverberate throughout your body as you play and become one with the drum!

Lunch 1pm - 2pm bring and share style

Afternoon session - Miyake (drum on its side with a person playing each skin) 2pm - 5pm
The Miyake style comes from the Japanese island of Miyake-jima, and is a traditional
piece to play, which has been popularised on stage by the group Kodo.

Hot and cold drinks & biscuits will be provided.

Cost for the day: £55
