Taiko drumming - "Wadaiko" - 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 Mugen Taiko Dojo course is on Wednesday 7:00 - 8:30 pm
for 6 weeks starting 23 May & ending 27 June. The Dojo is
located just off the main road between Strathaven &
Lesmahagow.
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. We will be
learning a piece called "Isami Goma". This is one of the "classic"
taiko pieces, composed by the late Grandmaster Daihachi Oguchi who
founded the legendary group Osuwa Daiko, based on rhythms from a
Shinto Norito prayer. Isami Goma means "brave horse", and the
rhythms sound like the pounding hooves of galloping horses. We
received special permission from Watanabe Sensei of Fukushima to
teach on this piece, which we're delighted to do at the Mugen Taiko
Dojo.
