The classes use a selection of traditional repertoire to explore the various playing techniques of Balinese Gamelan instruments.

The class moves quickly through a number of lengthy compositions, often played at a fast pace, and is best approached after gaining some familiarity with the essential techniques and styles of Gamelan.
