We'll talk more about the string instruments again and focus on the mandolin with Jackson. He would love to tell us more about this instrument, his practicing techniques, and even sing along with some songs. I will bring my mandolin as well. I don't know how to play, but Jackson wants to teach me! At the end the kids will get a chance to play the mandolin strings themselves.
I'm so excited for the opportunity to bring young musicians to this class. Kids see adults on stage all the time, on TV or in pictures. It's great to show them that not only adults know how to make music from these wonderful instruments, and that they're not far off from learning how to play one themselves.
The demonstration will take place between the older and younger age groups in order for everyone to take part.
Ages 3 & up: 10:00 - 10:45
Ages 2 & under: 10:20 - 11:10
The demonstration will start around 10:30 to include both age groups. Please arrive by 10:20 and grab a seat on the picnic blankets. Everyone is welcome!
Check out the fun we had last week exploring the piano! In case you missed it, check out my previous post with links to how the inside of a piano works!
