Try Taiko!

We offer a variety of introductory workshops for between 6-20 participants at a time.The content includes lots of drumming, with warm up exercises, an introduction to basic techniques, simple musical exercises and the opportunity to learn traditional or modern Taiko “songs”. These courses can be adapted to suit different groups and venues. For example:

• Try Taiko! – 2 hour Introductory Workshop.
• One Day Structured Workshop – the chance to learn a longer piece with one group or to run several short groups throughout the day.
• A Short Course – running over a few weeks to develop technique, learn more repertoire and work towards group aims, eg stress relief or boosting self-esteem.
• Longer Courses and Performance Projects to suit the needs of your organisation or event.

Please contact us directly to discuss your ideas.

“Thanks for a great weekend of workshops. You demonstrated great teamwork with the way in which you each played a role in the teaching, and also in the way that you each supported each others teaching, giving space but coming in with advice when needed. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and took great delight in our performance. It was really enjoyable and you all created an ideal atmosphere for a workshop, relaxed but focused. Fantastic…..Hope to drum along with you again soon.”
Carol Woodford, Workshop Participant at Unity Festival

“Ursula Frank of Taiko Wales has been giving drumming workshops at Trebinshun House on an occasional basis over the last year. Every weekday evening we offer a different activity, and the Taiko sessions are always enjoyed and appreciated by our guests – all senior business people and other professionals. In the nicest possible way, with patience and humour, Ursula takes people out of their comfort zone and into new territory. The collaborative discipline of Taiko brings energy and focus to any group. and with new challenges come new perspectives . Become a drummer for an afternoon, or even just an hour and you may discover a hidden talent . If not, you will certainly have fun trying.”
Sophie Yarde-Buller, Manager, Trebinshun House, Brecon
