Title: Has anyone done Chinese Music Ensemble MUSI20135 or MUSI20138 Gamelan in Modern?

Hey guys :D
I'm having trouble looking for a level 2 breadth for semester 2  :'( :'( :'(
I REALLY need a H1 (to save my GPA D:) so I'm looking for an easy breadth but i also want to try out a music subject...
I was thinking of MUSI20135 Chinese Music Ensemble https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2014/MUSI20135
but I'm scared it might be too hard for me since I don't have much of a music background.
Has anyone done this subject? How did you find it?

I was also thinking of MUSI20138 Gamelan in Modern Indonesia

If you have done any of these subjects, I would greatly appreciate it if you tell me what you think of them! :D
THANKS IN ADVANCE!  ;D ;D ;D

i  haven't done any of those subjects, but I suggest doing Music and Health  https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2014/MUSI20150, it's a pretty chilled subject and very enjoyable. you get to sing in lectures, which is optional  i guess.

I was thinking of doing the shakuhachi one!

Just be careful for the Chinese music ensemble as the handbook seems to specify "Students should have some skills on Chinese or Western instruments."|

If that isn't you, it's probably a good idea to stay away from that subject, i cant imagine it going down too well.
