The Javanese gamelan is the largest member of a family of Southeast Asian musical ensembles, and its beautiful music is one of the most complex in the world.
In Central Java, gamelan traditionally accompanies ceremonies, dance, and shadow puppet theatre performances. It is also played by itself at informal performances qua practices for the entertainment of both musicians and listeners.
In 10 lessons, participants will be introduced to several basic songs in different styles and forms, and learn skills on different instruments.
Lessons are conducted on one of the largest Javanese gamelan sets in Singapore, which possesses a full range of instruments in both slendro and pelog tunings.

GOHD Books is thrilled to host the launch of the novel The Lion and I by Ariana S.K. on Sunday, 26 February 2012.
Set in modern Afghanistan, The Lion and I is the tale of a woman who, in 1997, goes to Afghanistan at the spur of the moment to fulfil her dream of meeting the great Afghan Mujahedin leader Ahmad Shah Massoud, also know as The Lion of Panjshir.
Vividly depicting the geography, culture and political environment of pre and post-war Afghanistan, the novel revolves around the life and struggles of Ahmad Shah Massoud, the famed guerilla fighter who was instrumental in expelling both the Soviets and the Taliban from Afghanistan. As the story develops, the author relates in subtle details Massoud's character, nature and abmitions, Afghanistan's landscapes, and the people and their suffering .
