The very characters that make up the word taiko (太鼓) – 太 (tai) ‘fat’ or ‘big around’ and 鼓 (ko) ‘drum’ – aptly describe the look, sound and feel of our beautiful instruments. Taking that as our inspiration, let’s make a big, fat sound together on Friday evenings at 7:30pm. Come and join us for an ‘Hour Of Power’ as we explore the energy, drama and excitement of the Big Drums!
‘Hour Of Power’ will be offered throughout the year in blocks of 4 weeks. Each 4-week block of sessions will focus on a particular taiko and style, or sometimes two or three combined (e.g. Yataibayashi Nagado / Odaiko Improvisation / Shimedaiko Tamaire). The teacher will give some technical and musical instruction, but the focus will be on sustained playing, including improvisation.
Booking is for 4 consecutive sessions, at a cost of $30 | $20 concession per week
Next Series: YATAIBAYASHI. We will be focussing on the nagado part, although the shimedaiko bass rhythm will be included in the sessions.
