Taiko Course in Edinburgh
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 Edinburgh course is on Tuesdays 6:30 - 8:00 pm for 8
weeks starting 3rd March and ending 20th April 2020.
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 Inferno. This is a dramatic performance piece based on the driving "gobu-gobu" rhythm, with two interlocking parts.
If you have previous experience in taiko, you may be
interested in our "Taiko Night" group, which meets at 7:45-10pm on
Tuesdays at the same venue.
