TAIKO JOURNEY WORKSHOPS AT DART MUSIC FESTIVAL, 2014
EXPERIENCE THE FUN OF TAIKO DRUMMING!
Taiko Journey will be running family-friendly, short sessions during the
Festival - a great way to experience the joy of playing these
impressive taiko drums first hand. You don’t need any experience -
you’ll see how easy it is to join in with some simple rhythms that look
and sound great.
Esme, aged 8, from Exeter says “Taiko is epic and
brilliant, it’s fun and I love it!” So take it from her and join in for
some festival fun on the drums!
TAIKO DRUMMING – GETTING INTO THE FESTIVAL SPIRIT WITH THIS ENERGISING WORKSHOP
Originally from Japan, Taiko ensembles harness the transformative power
of music-making, whole-bodied movement and the buzz of performing as a
group to create a visual show that gets your heart pumping - players and
audience alike!
This one hour session will harness the joy of the festival season, encouraging you to get up and join in the music-making. We’ll start from the basics and soon you’ll be able to play along with a matsuri (Japanese festival) rhythm and experience the joy of being part of a taiko drumming group. Prepare to be loud, get moving, and to have lots of fun!
This session will be held at The Flavel, Dartmouth.
Maximum of 15 participants. Suitable for ages 14 - 65+; observers welcome (but no unauthorised filming please).

Because listening to music at Dart Music Festival is FREE - but running it is not! - we have to charge for the Programme.
The sales revenue is VITAL to the continuation of the Festival - thank you for understanding.
