Edinburgh Taiko Drumming - Beginners Workshop

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 taster of this exciting discipline which is energetic & fun & learnt alongside other taiko enthusiasts!

The beginners workshop will take place on Monday 31st May 2021 from 6.30pm-8.00pm.

This workshop 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 Mitsu-uchi rhythms based on the Hokuriku style in Fukui.

If you have previous experience in taiko, you may be interested in our "Taiko Night" group, which meets at 7:45-10pm on Mondays at the same venue.
