About Taiko Drumming Taster Workshop for Adults
A TASTER WORKSHOP FOR ADULTS OF ALL AGES & ABILITIES - A FUN & HEALTHY ACTIVITY FOR ALL!
Taiko drumming combines rhythm, movement & energy. It's lots of fun to play, is good for physical & mental health, and helps develop coordination & internal rhythm. The taster workshop is suitable for adults of all ages & abilities, and covers the basics of taiko from the stance & grip, through to learning a simple traditional rhythm.
Find out more about the [TAIKO LIVE] WORKSHOPS, a project of 38 one-off workshops throughout central Scotland, made possible thanks to funding from the GB Sasakawa Foundation: www.taiko.co.uk
The workshops are in conjunction with our [TAIKO LIVE] concert series with "Scotland on Tour", bringing Mugenkyo's live taiko performance to specially selected community venues across Central Scotland: scotlandontour.com
The instructors of the workshops are members of Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers, a professional touring taiko group, internationally renowned for their energetic & theatrical modern style based on traditional Japanese drumming. Their performance history includes 1,000s of concerts at prestigious venues throughout the UK, including in Scotland: Edinburgh Usher Hall, Glasgow Kings Theatre, Dundee Caird Hall, Aberdeen Music Hall, Motherwell Concert Hall, Ayr Gaiety, Kilmarnock Palace Theatre. They have been featured on various film, TV and recording projects & this year they were filmed for the upcoming blockbuster "Tin Soldier" in Greece alongside Jamie Foxx & Robert DeNiro, performed a 2-week run at the World Expo in Dubai, and last year were featured on the BBC TV Tokyo Olympics programme for the opening big drum sequence. In 2002 they opened the UK's first Taiko Drumming Centre, the Mugen Taiko Dojo, as a rehearsal space for the professional group, and as a base for delivering hundreds of workshops of all levels & outreach throughout the UK.
Don't miss this exciting & unique opportunity to try out taiko for yourself! Book in advance to be sure of a space. Limited spaces will also be available on the door.
If you're interested in joining a regular class, we also run sessions on a Monday for different age groups & levels at the Mugen Taiko Dojo itself, located between Strathaven & Lesmahagow, as well as weekly classes in Glasgow & Edinburgh.
