Gamelan Club
2026-06-16 21:30 - 22:30 | Redbridge Music Service, John Savage Centre, Fencepiece Road, Hainault, IG6 2NB, GB
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.
Entry Standard: No previous experience necessary
Age: Yr.3+
Progression Routes: Gamelan Ensemble
Price: £19.25 Monthly
