Future Music is an experimental music workshop for children between the
ages of 6 to 12. In the workshop we will use many different materials
and game plans to experiment with ways of listening, sound making and
improvisation. Previous experience or musical knowledge is not required.
And all materials/instruments will be provided.

Age: 6 – 12. The workshops are free, but booking is required. E-mail to reserve your place.
