American School of the Hague

The school gamelan is taught every day in different classes for one and a half months each semester. Students in grades 6, 7 and 8 learn gamelan in their World Music classes. The school gamelan is performed in concerts including International Day and the largest concert of the year – Extravaganza. The drum patterns are not gamelan, but the tunes and embellishments are!

The school gamelan has enriched hundreds of student lives by the introduction the music and culture of Central Java, Indonesia to their lives.
