Gamelan Beginner Course

m.critcher

Southbank Centre Community Gamelan

Join expert tutor Malcolm Milner and learn to play the beautiful Javanese gamelan (percussion orchestra) at Southbank Centre. Thought of as one instrument played by a group of people, the gamelan generates rich, sonorous and mesmerising sounds and comprises an array of gongs, drums and metallophones.

Playing the gamelan is both a rewarding musical and social activity. Classes can inspire self-confidence, improve co-ordination and listening skills, encourage team-building and be a great chance to try something new in a relaxed and friendly environment.

This class is tailored towards people with no previous experience of gamelan and beginners who have been playing for less than two years. No previous musical experience is necessary, just a willingness to sit on the floor, take off your shoes and have fun!

Classes can be subscribed to for a full year in advance at the discounted rate of £210 or for individual terms at £80 (£40 concessions) per term in advance.

For more information about gamelan at Southbank Centre, go to southbankcentre.co.uk/gamelan or contact Sophie Ransby on 020 7921 0767 or via email gamelan@southbankcentre.co.uk
