About the course
We are pleased to announce a new 8-week Taiko course aimed at beginners or those seeking to refresh their fundamentals. In this course you'll learn the foundations of Tsuchigumo's approach to playing Taiko. In each session, you will learn about Taiko basics (kihon), technique (waza), stance, posture and basic movements (kata), and use of verbal notation (kuchi shoga). We'll also introduce exercises to help improve your fitness, stamina, flexibility, and mobility.
In addition to the physical benefits, Taiko is great exercise for the mind and soul with group drumming shown to be one of the best activities for improving mental health and general well-being. Meeting and connecting with people is as much a part of our group ethos as the drumming is, and we're sure you'll feel that from your first session.
No previous experience is necessary, and by the end of the course you'll have a full Taiko piece…
