Gamelan Workshop
On Friday 17 March, all Year 8 classes took part in an Indonesian Gamelan workshop led by Mike of Inspire Works. Year 8 classes have been learning about Gamelan music in class and welcomed the opportunity to try their new skills on real Indonesian instruments. The gongs were particularly impressive! The students did brilliantly and can now use their understanding in class to contribute to Gamelan fusion remixes on Soundtrap. Our Year 12 A Level musicians also had the opportunity to play the Gamelan which will inform their study of Debussy's Pagodes; a piece in which Impressionist characteristics are fused with Gamelan features. We hope to welcome Inspire Works back again next year.
