About the event
This introductory session for adults will begin with a short physical warm-up, to ensure the body is ready for the activity and reduce the likelihood of muscle strain or injury. We will then take you through the Tsuchigumo approach to Taiko basics (kihon), such as dynamic grip; striking technique (waza); stance, posture, and basic movements (kata); and the use of verbal notation (kuchi shōga). Focus then shifts to learning a selection of fun drills and exercises to help develop your taiko fundamentals. Finally, all of your new skills will be put into practice in learning a short taiko song!
No musical experience is necessary and all equipment will be provided. Please wear clothing you would be comfortable exercising in, and flat shoes (e.g., trainers) are recommended.
