This week our homeschool group hosted a Balinese music workshop with a traditional orchestra including gamelans – it was totally awesome!
The kids had a great time helping to set up
and then listened as the instructor taught us about the instruments and we learned a few words in Indonesian
We got a quick demo of all the instruments, and then it was time for the kids to have a go
They had a great time making a tremendous cacophony which eventually sounded like good music, here’s a short clip about halfway through (they did get better, but I didn’t film it)
Now we’re busy packing to go to the Australian Rainbow Gathering, not sure when I’ll get to post again :)
