Thank you for your interest in joining the Balinese Gamelan class in Easton every Tuesday evening!

What to expect: A gamelan ensemble consists of 15 - 20 percussion instruments each with a different role within the ensemble. We will learn the interlocking rhythms and melodies that make up the shimmering soundscape of the gamelan, and work together as an ensemble to play traditional and contemporary pieces. The parts vary in difficulty so all musical levels are welcome!

NOTE: Many of the instruments require sitting on the floor (cushions provided) although I have some stools available for those with mobility issues. 

The Autumn term sessions are on the following dates:
1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th September
6th, 13th, 20th, 27th October
10th, 17th, 24th November

Address: Tit4Tat, Cato Street, Easton.

Timings:

6pm Arrive

6.15 - 7.15pm - Beginners / Drop in Session

7.15 - Tea & Biscuit Break

7.30 - 8.30pm - Intermediate Session

All are welcome to come to the beginners class - this will be a slower paced session going over playing techniques and exploring all the different instruments while learning simple traditional pieces. 

The intermediate class is faster paced and will be learning more complex material. They are aimed for those who have experience playing gamelan / percussion music, however those from the beginner class are also welcome to join in and play simpler parts at no extra cost.
