In this unit of study, students learn to perform a repertoire of Balinese gamelan pieces on the Conservatorium’s gong semaradana instruments, using the Balinese model-and-copy teaching method without the use of notation. Through this, students will develop a knowledge and understanding of Balinese musical terminology, tuning systems, and the roles of instruments in the gamelan. Formal and performative aspects of Balinese gamelan music will be experienced and analysed.
