2005-06 marked the first year a hands-on World Music class was offered as part of the curriculum to AAS students. Students in Ms. Sen's class receive hands-on experience playing instruments from all over the world. We have 16 Japanese Taiko drums on campus along with 18 bamboo xylophone-like instruments that make up an Indonesian Gamelan Jegog. 

Monina Sen has been playing Japanese Taiko drums with the San Francisco Taiko Dojo since 2001, and has been a member of Gamelan Sekar Jaya since 2004. She has been an Artist-In-Residence at SOTA, teaching Music Theory and Sight Singing since 2002. In addition to teaching at SOTA and AAS, Monina teaches taiko to young girls at Dance Mission Studios, and is currently pursuing her Masters Degree in Music and her teaching credential at SFSU.
