Magelang, Indonesia

Experience and learn how to play the Javanese Gamelan

Apart from splendid natural wonders and ancient temple sites, the traditional ensemble music of the Javanese, Gamelan is another big draw for tourists on the island of Java. Predominantly using percussive instruments such as metallophones, hand-played drums, xylophones or bamboo flutes, learning how to play this unique music is surprisingly simple to start. You can join an ensemble with the instructions of local musicians without studying the difficult parts. Sitting surrounded by majestic gongs and playing your own music, this experience is an interesting excursion into part of Indonesian culture.
