Workshop de Dança Javanesa e Música Tradicional Gamelão em Yogyakarta

This was such an amazing experience on beginning to learn gamelan. I had the opportunity to try 5 different instruments and some multiple times with more difficult beats. The team was very helpful and friendly in explaining what to do when I had many questions. They also took photos and videos whilst I was playing that had me laughing when I looked at them after. A great activity for those looking to learn more about the cultural side of Indonesia/Jogja. Would love to do it again!

The Gamelan music workshop was a very enriching experience. Although the Gamelan master does not speak English, a wonderful interpreter and the master's daughter compensated for this. We were allowed to touch all the instruments and learned four basic patterns. It was a very enjoyable time. There are no problems with the workshop itself, but there are some issues with the application website. First, I applied for the Gamelan music workshop, but the reply I received was from the dance workshop. Also, the booking calendar is not accurate. Furthermore, the venue was unclear. I believe they will overcome these challenges and continue to offer even better workshops. Thank you.

I joined the gamelan class with Pak Pardiman and the Javanese dancing class with Mbak Sasta. The gamelan class was one of the most beautiful experiences I ever had in Indonesia. It was a deep dive into the culture of Java. Pak Pardiman is a master of gamelan! He explained the characteristics of this traditional music to me and let me play every single instrument. It was an honor to be taught by him. After an hour, there was a gamelan class with children who had already played the instrument for 1-3 years. To me, they were already little professionals. Playing among them was just so much fun! After the class, I felt very inspired and humbled by the beauty of the music, the sound of the instrument, and the whole atmosphere created by Pak Pardiman and his community. The day after, I joined the dancing class together with a friend of mine. We were warmly welcomed by Mbak Sasta, who, by the way, is a famous dancer at the Kraton in Yogyakarta. She patiently taught us the different movements of one of the traditional dances she performs at Kraton Palace. My friend and I had so much fun diving into this special way of meditative movement. It was a deep honor for us to be taught by a famous dancer like Mbak Sasta! These two classes are two experiences I will never forget. I want to express my deep gratitude to Resti, who organizes these extraordinary insights into Javanese culture! Thank you, Resti, Pak Pardiman, and Mbak Sasta 🙏🏽

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。

Fantastisk workshop av Pak Padriman og tolken Gaudiya! Ulike gamelan-elementer blir forklart i stor detalj, og Pak veileder deg forsiktig gjennom å spille de forskjellige musikkstykkene. Stedet er også nydelig (utsikt over rismarkene) og brukes til kulturundervisning for barn også. Under min sesjon ble noen lokale barn med for å spille et 15-delt gamelan-stykke sammen. Noe musikalsk kunnskap eller erfaring er praktisk, men ikke påkrevd. Jeg anbefaler på det sterkeste å sjekke ut denne workshopen!

非常特別的體驗，可以深入了解當地傳統音樂並感受文化。老師的教學方式淺顯易懂，翻譯人員也非常有幫助。我們嘗試了五種不同的樂器，並一起演奏了基本旋律。

Ini adalah kelas perkusi pertama saya, dan saya menyukainya! Ini adalah pengalaman budaya yang unik dan sangat menyenangkan. Sang Master secara singkat memperkenalkan sejarah dan fitur Gamelan Jawa. Kemudian, para peserta mulai memukul gamelan sesuai instruksi Master. Asisten pengajar memberikan interpretasi berurutan dan membimbing para peserta. Saya sangat merekomendasikan lokakarya musik ini! Bagi yang ingin bergabung dengan lokakarya ini sebaiknya merujuk ke Google Maps karena lokasi di peta Grab mungkin tidak akurat.

It's really an amazing experience of learning gamelan!!!

Pengalaman yang unik dan tak terlupakan! Kami sangat menikmati pengalaman Gamelan kami di Omah Cangkem. Ada juga penerjemah yang membantu kami menerjemahkan ke bahasa Inggris, dan dia sangat membantu untuk mengambil foto dan video kami. Kami bisa mencoba berbagai instrumen dan mempelajari not lagu-lagu sederhana. Lokakarya berlangsung sekitar 2,5 jam.

Pengalaman yang luar biasa. Perlu diperhatikan bahwa jika Anda menggunakan Grab, Anda harus memberitahu pengemudi untuk menggunakan Google Maps karena peta Grab akan membawa Anda ke jalan yang salah. Pengalaman belajar tarian tradisional sangat menyenangkan dan pasti akan menjadi kenangan. Belajar tarian memberikan lebih banyak perspektif tentang simbol-simbol dan pemahaman tentang tarian itu sendiri. Akan sangat membantu jika Anda pernah atau sedang menonton tarian Jawa sebagai referensi tentang bagaimana tarian itu seharusnya terlihat. Kenakan celana panjang dan bawa sarung Anda sendiri jika Anda ingin terlihat serasi saat menari.
