A Taste of Taiko
This occasional Saturday taiko workshop does what its title suggests – gives you a taste of taiko. It’s suitable for complete (adult) beginners, and also for those with some experience. It is a great way to get used to our particular style of taiko playing, and teaching.
Advance booking is required. When emailing us, please always check your junk & spam folders as sometimes our replies end up there!

Adult Recreational courses
Intermediate Recreational Courses
We are also pleased to offer a rolling programme of courses for people who have played taiko for about a year or so, and who want to progress their level of playing. Participants would normally have taken at least one or two Taste of Taiko workshops or several Drop-In Classes, and consulted with us about the suitability of this course for them. Places must be booked in advance. To find out more about our recreational courses please email [email protected].Â
People who have taken several recreational courses may be in a position to progress to provisional membership of Tano Taiko, our adult performing group, subject to availability of places in the group.

From time to time, we offer special workshops, including one-day taiko experiences.Â
