Beginner? No problem!
Learn the technical basics of taiko and sample a few specific playing styles in our Beginners classes
– the perfect starting ground for your taiko learning journey. Over the
8-week curriculum, you will be introduced to the foundations of taiko,
including exploring traditional playing styles and learning the names of
the many different drums that make up the taiko family. MONDAYS or THURSDAYS
Taiko Tot or a Mini Beat? We've got a class for you!
Taikoz fosters a family-friendly environment and children of all ages are welcome to begin their taiko journey with us. Weekly
classes run for four 8-week terms (coinciding with school terms) and
focus on playing rhythmic patterns, developing kinetic and aural
awareness, and working together as a group. Musical games and
learning short pieces of music are an important part of the younger
child’s experience, while the older students concentrate more on
exploring a variety of taiko playing styles, technique, complex rhythms
and musical independence.
** Taikoz is registered for Creative Kids and welcomes the use of the vouchers to contribute towards course fees.
Hour of Power!!
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 Saturday mornings at 8.45am. Come and join us for an ‘Hour Of
Power’ as we explore the energy, drama and excitement of the Big Drums!
