In this workshop we will be learning to play traditional Indonesian gamelan music on the xylophones and making Wayang Kulit shadow puppets for children to take home with them. Gamelan music accompanies Wayang Kulit puppet shows and is traditional for telling stoies and fables.
For ages 7 upwards. Book below.
The session is £4 a person. As always we want this session to be accessible to all and there are free sessions for you to book on us.
Parents and carers need to stay on site while this is taking place.
A gamelan workshop is a hands-on music session where participants play traditional xylophones
The group learns simple rhythms and melodies before playing together as an ensemble. It’s accessible, sociable and suitable for complete beginners, no musical experience is needed. Gamelan workshops are particularly good for children because everyone contributes to creating one shared piece of music. Children will also make shadow puppets to take home.
