Can you feel the beat? In order to play a musical instrument it is necessary to be able to feel the rhythms of music with your whole body. Whether you have been playing an instrument for some time or are just at the beginning of your musical adventure, you will be challenged to feel the beat through dancing, drumming and musical games. Come and join us for this energizing workshop perfect for budding musicians ages 6 to 12-years-old.
