What is Taiko? Taiko is more than just drumming; it's a dynamic, full-body experience that combines rhythm, movement, and teamwork. Originating from ancient Japanese traditions, Taiko drumming is known for its impressive sound, striking visual performances, and the profound sense of connection it fosters among players.

Why Family Play Taiko for the School Holidays?

  • Active and Energizing: Forget screen time! Taiko is a fantastic physical workout, promoting coordination, stamina, and a healthy release of energy.

  • Unique Cultural Immersion: Discover a fascinating aspect of Japanese culture through hands-on musical exploration.

  • Teamwork and Connection: Taiko is inherently a group activity, fostering collaboration, communication, and a shared sense of accomplishment as your family creates powerful rhythms together.

  • Stress Relief and Fun: The rhythmic drumming can be incredibly meditative and a fantastic way to unwind and de-stress, all while having an absolute blast.

  • No Experience Necessary: Our workshops are designed for beginners, so whether you're a seasoned musician or have never held a drumstick, you can jump right in and enjoy the experience.

  • Memorable Family Bonding: Create lasting memories as you learn, laugh, and drum in unison with your loved ones.

  • Basic taiko stances and drumming techniques.
