Year 9 Taiko Drum Workshop

Our Year 9 students had the exciting opportunity to take part in a Taiko Drum workshop led by Taiko South West.

During the workshop, students were introduced to the basics of traditional Japanese drumming. They learnt powerful stances, practised synchronised beats, and worked together to create a strong, unified sound. Along the way, they discovered that taiko is about far more than music – it promotes teamwork, discipline, and deep cultural appreciation.

The session was lively, energetic, and truly unforgettable, filling the room with thunderous rhythms and infectious enthusiasm.

The experience left students feeling inspired by the artistry and spirit behind this unique musical tradition. It was a brilliant opportunity to explore a new culture and develop new skills, all while having plenty of fun.
