Welcome

About Me

Hele-Riin Uib-Pachel was born in Estonia. Since early childhood the little girl was surrounded by drums; through her step-father she had a close contact with playing as well as making percussion instruments. It so happened that at the age of 13 Hele-Riin started an independent life, though this did not hamper her studies of percussions at the Tallinn Georg Ots Music School. In 2004, she graduated from the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre with BA and in 2007 with MA. In the course of 2004–2009 Hele-Riin studied percussions also at the Helsinki Metropolia University, though unlike at the Estonian Academy of Music she concentrated here on jazz (vibraphone) and ethnic (Africa, Cuba, Brazil) percussion instruments.

In 2010, she studied the art of taiko in Japan under the supervision by Emiko Taba. Since then Hele-Riin has given many concerts under the name Muteki Taiko and has formed also Muteki TAIKO duo with featuring artists. 
In 2001–2004, she was a percussion player at the Estonian National Opera Symphony Orchestra. Also, Hele-Riin has been guest-artist with Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, Estonian Piano Orchestra, Glasperlenspiel Sinfonietta and NYYD Ensemble. However, she enjoys most playing in duos where the small staff offers more improvisation and creative approach to music. In 2013 she created show percussion duo Drumattack with Laura Välja.

In 2014 she formed a girl rock band G.O.S.H., debut album Roller Coaster was released in 2015.

Hele-Riin says that rhythm is the heart of music. It seems that this heart beats in a cruel rhythm and quick tempo because in her schedule there are hardly any days off. The afore-mentioned qualities have made her a highly sought-after musician and concert tours have taken her to many countries as well as made her a frequent guest in recording studios.

Hele-Riin has been teaching drums for over 20 years, she's currently a drum teacher at Rocca al Mare music school.

👉For more information, write to info@helmusic.eu
Taiko drumming is fun, energizing and accessible to everyone!

🥁Characterization of drum training:
Taiko is a combination of sport and music. Thus, the drum circle can be called a drum training, as the drumming can be done
with large sticks, and in addition to the drumming, choreography is added, which is characteristic of the playing style
of Japanese taiko drums. The pace of the lesson is brisk. There is a great emphasis on playing together and also on improvisation.
Anyone interested in group lessons is welcome, lack of previous drumming skills is not an obstacle.
Dress comfortably, wear non-slip shoes, bring a happy mind and a desire to play the drums. I guarantee that after the drum lesson
you will be positive and full of life energy.

MUTEKI TAIKO trummilaager

Muteki TAIKO trummilaager 2023

Sooviksid oma ellu värvi tagasi tuua, inspireerida end täiesti uue kogemusega - kogeda taiko maagiat ning puhastuda rütmide keskel?
Süüta oma kirg elava elu vastu ning usu endasse ja oma jõusse. Tule proovima müstiliste Jaapani taikotrummide mängu!
 
Kingi endale 2-päevane taikotrummide retriit!
 
Kutsume Sind osa saama Eestis esmakordselt aset leidvast sündmusest -
MUTEKI TAIKO TRUMMILAAGER.
Kohtade arv on piiratud!
Lisaküsimused: info@helmusic.eu
 
Erikülalisteks on otse Jaapanist Eestisse tulnud Yosuke Oda (maailmakuulsa taikoansambli KODŌ endine esiliige) ning tema kaaslased Miku Shibata ja Yuka Kakuma.
 
PS! Eelneva trummimänguoskuse puudumine ei saa takistuseks.
 
🥁Taiko trummimängust lähemalt:
Taiko trummimängus on ühendatud rütm, liikumine ja energia. Mängimine on meeliülendav, hea füüsilisele ja vaimsele tervisele ning aitab arendada koordinatsiooni ja sisemist rütmi.
Taiko sobib suurepäraselt meeskonnatööks ja on ka suurepärane stressimaandaja!
Trummilaagris osalejad on enamuses algajad. Taikotrummide koolitused sobivad igas vanuses ja erineva võimekusega täiskasvanutele ning hõlmavad taiko põhitõdesid asendist ja haardest kuni täieliku taiko trummipala õppimiseni.
Taiko on kombinatsioon spordist ja muusikast. Seega võib trummiringi kutsuda lausa trummitrenniks, kuna trummimäng saab toimuma suurte harjavarre-jämeduste pulkadega ja lisaks trummimängule on juurde lisatud koreograafia, mis on Jaapani taikotrummide mängustiilile omane. Tunni läbiviimise tempo on hoogne. Suur rõhk on koosmängul ja samuti improvisatsioonil.
 
Lisaks trummimängule kosutame füüsist ja vaimu erinevate tegevustega. Alustame päeva joogaga ning peale trummitamist saate nautida õhtuid, mis on täidetud gongi- ja trummikontsertidega, sauna- ja lõkkeõhtuga.
 
Trummilaager toimub Adila heaolu- ja puhkekeskuses 10.-11. juulil 2023
Osalemistasu 333€ (sisaldab toitlustust ja ööbimist peremajas)
