Gamelan Club
The gamelan is an orchestra of bronze gongs and percussion instruments from the Indonesian islands of Java and Bali. The style of music is cyclical and produces a uniquely rich and multi-layered texture. Pieces are learned aurally using numbers, and parts vary in difficulty. Gamelan performance is a communal activity in which no single musician stands out or acts as leader. Everyone works together as a team, learning to play all the different instruments in the orchestra. No previous gamelan or musical experience is required to join this inclusive ensemble. Playing in a gamelan group is fun, and helps develop deep listening, teamwork and coordination skills, as well as providing the opportunity to experience the rich legacy of this Javanese musical tradition.
