Jaavalaisen tanssin ja gamelan-perinnemusiikin työpaja Yogyakartassa

非常有趣的体验。我强烈推荐来日惹玩儿的朋友们多留半天时间给这个体验。加美兰大师的女儿英语极好，整个教学也很细致，体验了五六种不同的乐器，而且不需要有任何乐理基础也能玩的很开心。 这是一种包含排锣、铜片琴、鼓等众多敲击打击乐器合奏、往往使用五声音阶的上古音乐，常出现在爪哇宗教仪式或者皮影戏、舞蹈表演的伴奏中。德彪西受到很多甘美兰的影响，动森里也能听到 kk 弹奏的版本。由于节奏相对简单又包含大量的重复，演奏体验非常有趣，类似冥想。 老师说上周有个叫我气的中国乐队来学了一天，很有趣。我们看了看原来是蛙池…回去有机会要去看他们演出。

Fantastic workshop by Pak Padriman & interpreter Gaudiya! Various gamelan elements are explained in great detail and Pak gently guides you through playing the different pieces of music. The location is also gorgeous (view of the rice fields) and is used for cultural education for children as well. During my session, some local children joined in to play a 15-piece gamelan score together. Some musical knowledge or experience is convenient, but not required. I highly recommend checking out this workshop!

We had a wonderful half-day experience at the workshop. Previously we had the opportunity to watch gamelan performance, so it was really special for us to try playing it ourselves. Anjang and Unggul were very great teachers and taught us two traditional gamelan pieces. The music was very soothing and has mental healing power. Would recommend this workshop to anyone who's interested in authentic Indonesian music :)

Very special experience to dive in traditional local music and feel the culture. The teacher taught in a easy-to-follow way, the translator is very helpful. We tried 5 different instruments and played basic melodies together.

Mr. Padriman, the master, is a very kind-smiling, highly knowledgeable, and experienced musician. It was truly an honor to hear him play and to perform with him. Gaudiya and Argya, his assistants and interpreters, were also very kind, skilled, and helpful. I spent a very pleasant three hours with them—both the venue and the music itself were perfect. Thank you for the uplifting experience! I warmly recommend it to everyone; there’s nothing to worry about!

super fun experience. must not miss and highly recommend if you enjoy culture 😃

I had the fortune of receiving a private lesson from master Pak Padriman. He was friendly, courteous and patient with me as he gave me instructions on how to use different instruments. Guide Gaudiya, herself knowledgeable in music, was very friendly and professional and helped translate the session and i got more out of the time thanks to her support. The workshop takes place in his home studio in the suburbs of Yogyakarta and the view to the field from the balcony alone makes it worthwhile to visit the place. Highly recommended for anyone curious to gain more insight into the Javanese culture.

10/10 experience! If you are at all musical, you will love this fun and well-planned gamelan workshop. Pak Pardiman is a master musician and teacher, truly an honor to learn from. He easily adjusted the workshop to our level and encouraged us as we learned several different gamelan patterns and tried different instruments. Gamelan music is different from what we're familiar with, but once we got the hang of it we got to play so much by the end! Pak also shared about the role of gamelan in Indonesian culture. Our interpreter, Fify, spoke excellent english and was a joy to speak and play with. The rural setting is beautiful (and cooler than downtown Yogya). We had a great time and whole-heartedly recommend this experience!

What a fun and chill experience learning the gamelan! The hosts shared all about gamelan and the different instruments 👍 We got the chance to try out the different instruments and play many songs together! My partner and I have music background so we could pick upre very inspired after this to learn more about playing the gamelan 🤩 Highly recommended to anyone who is interested to pick up a new instrument and have a gamelan taster!

We enjoyed learning the Yogyakarta traditional dance! The instructor is a professional traditional dancer. She was very friendly and fun, and taught the moves slowly, but the dance itself was hard to do for first-timers (which is totally fine - the point is to try 😆). Welcome tea and snacks were also provided. Would recommend if you're interested in learning traditional dance! The place was in a narrow alley so it might be hard for cars to go in, but parking is available.
