About Sounds Gamelan

The Sounds Gamelan workshop allows children the opportunity to explore the exotic nature of the music and culture, experiencing a sound world not heard in the West with these stunning, little-seen authentic instruments.

Traditionally, a Gamelan comprises around 18 different instruments but Andy has an additional set, a mini gamelan, which enables participation by even younger children and allows an increased capacity for workshops of up to 36 children per session. This enables many more children to experience this unique set of instruments in one day.

Sounds Gamelan workshops can be combined with a Shadow Puppetry Performing and Making Day. More details on request.
