Indonesian Gamelan for OCR GCSE Music

This resource follows on from the one written by Sam Gladstone (Spring term 1, 2010/11, available on the Music Teacher website). In it I hope to give you practical strategies for delivering the performance part of Sam’s resource in a student-centred, hands-on, yet entirely musical way. The aim here is to immerse GCSE students into the world of the gamelan using classroom instruments to explore the musical features of the performance piece Ricik Ricik in preparation for a composition task.
