Music workshop: meet the artist
In these workshops, you’ll have the chance to meet and learn from talented artists, both local and international, who will share their musical journeys, skills, and experiences.
Whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time or just starting to explore music, this workshop offers a relaxed environment where you can learn at your own pace and gain confidence in your musical abilities.
We’re thrilled to welcome Piero Nota, taiko drummer and founder of the Italian ensemble Quelli del Taiko, as our special guest for this 3-day workshop in Eindhoven.
This is a rare opportunity to experience taiko with an international artist who brings not just technique, but heart, presence, and a deep love for group connection through rhythm. Whether you’re new to taiko or already on the path, Piero’s workshops promise a powerful and energizing experience.
Join us on 7-8-9 November in Eindhoven for a weekend of movement, rhythm, and shared energy.
