Taiko Course in Glasgow

Fed up with being stuck at home? Looking for safe group activity, which is good for mental health and physical wellbeing? Look no further! Our next "Covid-secure" Taiko Course starts on Monday 26th October in Glasgow in the big hall in the Space.

Face-masks are mandatory, drums spaced at 2m and with sanitised drumsticks. Do join us and experience the uplifting energy of Taiko Drumming!

"Wadaiko" - Taiko drumming - is an energetic, physical and highly choreographed art form. Originally from Japan, with roots going back hundreds of years and encompassing a variety of styles, rhythms and movement, this traditional folk art is now developing and spreading as a modern European art form.

Now is the chance for people here in Scotland to experience a full course of this exciting discipline which is energetic & fun & learnt alongside other taiko enthusiasts!

The Glasgow course is on Mondays 6:30 - 8:00 pm for 6 weeks starting 2nd November, at community venue "The Space", just around the corner from the Barrowlands.

This course is designed to be suitable for both beginners & improvers, and will take the participants step by step from the stance, to the bachi drumstick grip through to learning a performance piece. The piece for this season is Kitsune, a piece based on the uplifting and playful "shichisan" rhythm, named after the "kitsune" fox, which is a trickster & shape-shifter in Japanese traditional folklore.
