Playing together as a musical team, and arranging pieces for your own group

A fun way for children to develop their ensemble performance skills, reading and playing a range of gamelan instruments via the computer keyboard. The 'karaoke' play-along format takes performers step-by-step towards playing their instrument along with an authentic gamelan recording. Very good introduction to some non-Western sounds, scales and instruments. Also good for Unit 20: Stars, hide your fires - performing together.
