We’re good to gong at Gloucester at last. First of a set of monthly sessions today and great to be back. Get in touch if you’d like to join us next month. Total beginners as warmly welcomed as seasoned players.
The gamelan is still here and hopefully we’ll be welcoming everyone back in the Autumn! Such a treat to get the @GlosAcadMusic senior strings course playing!
This is a sound we haven’t heard in a while. Thanks @Kateviola for introducing our string course to the gamelan today.

Are you upgrading your tablet this Christmas? Can you spare your old one?
Because of Covid safety restrictions, much of our intergenerational work with care homes is taking place with individuals in their own rooms and equipment is limited. Please DM us if you can help.

This is what inspired me to make the feature for Jo Durrant’s Beautiful Universe - so sad that it all seems a distant memory
Ah... A year ago today, setting up for the Gloucester Tall Ships Festival. Miss you gamelan buddies - hope to see you all soon xx

Lovely to have some more local Year 3s in for a gamelan workshop at @GlosAcadMusic earlier this week. #MusicEd
Happy customers (and happy tutor) at one of our 10 week project schools with @GlosAcadMusic. (I’m glad it’s NOT over too!)
