Taiko Workshops

Tamashii offers private taiko workshops as a corporate team-building exercise, and also for schools as a learning experience. Special workshops can also be arranged for;

  • Public festivals
  • Children's workshop and holiday programmes
  • School & University workshops
  • O-Daiko workshops
  • Drum-making workshops

Contact us if you are interested in organizing any of these.

Our regular quarterly public workshops have been replaced by open classes.


Workshop Details

We will introduce you to Japanese taiko drumming, a brief history of the drums, and the basics of how to play. For most of the workshop, you will be learning how to play a complete taiko song.

On request, we can record and prepare a finished DVD of your group's final performance.

Workshops generally last around 4 hours, but can be longer or shorter depending on your needs.

Are generally best with a group of 6 to 15 participants. Larger and smaller groups can be accommodated, however with larger groups it may not be possible to have all of the participants on the drums at all times.

What to Bring: If you are unfamiliar with taiko drumming, be aware that it involves lots of movement. Wear comfortable clothing that is suitable for good exercise, and bring water and your favorite snacks as well to keep you energized.

Cost: Contact us with the size of your group, and the location of the performance (our Kelston dojo is usually available as a workshop venue).


Purchase as a Gift!

If you are a business owner who would like to gift the workshop to a group of employees, we can prepare workshop tickets.
