After taking a tour to see the angklung production, we watched angklung orchestra performed by the Mang Udjo students. It was a great performance. The best part of our visit, was learning to play the angklung. We learned to play it for about 5 minutes (yes, trust me) then we had to follow the hand gestures of the conductor. In no time at all, hundreds of us could play several songs with angklung.
I was very lucky I could go with my students to a famous angklung workshop in Bandung called Mang Udjo. Angklung is a Sundanese musical instrument made of two or four bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame. In Mang Udjo, we could learn all about angklung from the production to the performance.
