Julia Hansen wrote this book as an introduction to the art of playing the tingklik. The tingklik is an eleven-tube, bamboo xylophone made on the Indonesian island of Bali. It is usually played in an ensemble called "rindik" which is comprised of two tingkliks, one suling (bamboo flute), and one drum.
Rindik music is performed in restaurants and homes. The music contained in this book is heard throughout the culture. You can find rindik music on CDs and tapes.
If you can read Western musical rhythm notation, this book will teach you to play six traditional songs, such as: "Tabuh Gari," "Sakenti," and "Grebag."
Written in English and Japanese.
