The focus of this performance based unit is on the critical development of interactive skills. This unit begins with fundamentals of ensemble playing. Six weeks of this course will be devoted to ensemble playing in a Central Javanese Gamelan. The aim of this session is to develop ensemble playing in a structured and accessible ensemble environment with the specific intention of developing melodic and rhythmic interlocking skills. This unit will help students develop essential improvisatory skills in analytical listening, creative collaboration and critical spontaneity in musical thought and performance, all of which are fundamental to ensemble playing.
