TSUCHIGUMO BEGINNER COURSES
Tuesday Nights @ 18:00 - 19:00
These beginner courses are a great place to start your Taiko journey with Tsuchigumo. Here you can learn how to play Taiko from scratch, or if you have some experience, you can improve your basic playing technique, fitness and flexibility, and above all, have some fun in a friendly, no-pressure environment. There is no upper age limit, but participants must be at least 16 years old unless accompanied by an adult.
This is where you'll learn the foundations of Tsuchigumo's approach to playing the Taiko. In each session we work through our Taiko basics (kihon), such as the grip, general striking technique (waza), stance, posture and basic movements (kata), and use of verbal notation (kuchi shoga). The focus then shifts to playing a series of drills and exercises (uchikomi) to help develop the foundational elements and provide tools to articulate ideas musically on the drum.
We are located in Headhunter Studios in Kinning Park, which is close to both Kinning Park and Shields Road subway stations.
