A Glimpse of Indonesian Music

April 2009. Scarsdale Middle School, World Club. Collaborating teachers: Sandra Chan, Dana Lipton, Ann Marie Barron.

During the World Club session in Scarsdale Middle School, I showed a variety of Indonesian music to the club members. We watched some clips from a popular Indonesian hip hop female star, a famous Indonesian rock band, and an Indonesian traditional bamboo orchestra. Students made connections with their own country of origin, such as Japan and Korea. Towards the end, they had a brief workshop on how to play angklung, the Indonesian bamboo musical instrument.
