Angklung

  

The Angklung is a traditional musical instrument originated from Indonesia and it consists of two bamboo tubes which are attached to a bamboo frame. The base of the frame is held with one hand while the other hand shakes the instrument quickly from side to side. This action creates a pleasant sounding note and when angklungs of different pitches and lengths are played in an ensemble, a melodious tune is produced.

The Greendale Angklung Ensemble
The Greendale Angklung Ensemble (GAE) was formed in January 2007 with members coming from different levels and races. The ensemble comprises two sections: the Angklung and Kulintang. Pupils also learn how to play the Sunda Drums.
