Year 8 are taking a musical trip around the World. Today we stopped in Indonesia (Bali) where we learned about Gamelan music. After seeing a Gamelan performance on YouTube, we took off our shoes and stepped into the Drama Room where Miss Emma had assembled Tenby's very own make-shift gamelan.
We considered the musical techniques we had observed in the YouTube video (ostinato/ antiphony/ slendro scale/ unison/ polyrhythms/ motif) and composed our own gamelan piece of music to reflect the Great Storm of Miri which swept through school yesterday.
Movement 1 - The Calm Before The Storm
Movement 2 - The Elements Rage
Here's the YouTube video that inspired our performance:
Where next on our Musical World Tour??
