Come discover the magic of angklung in this beginner workshop! A musical instrument of West Javanese origin, the angklung is made of bamboo and produces a pleasant, resonant sound when shaken. In this workshop, participants will learn basic angklung techniques such as holding the instrument, producing sounds and playing simple melodies as an ensemble. This workshop is open for all, and no prior musical experience is required.
