Instrument Making and Songwriting Workshop-August 2nd


Studies show that music enhances the process of learning. It helps build our sensory, attentive, cognitive, emotional, and motor capabilities. Music is also shown to bring families together and support shared learning. Experience music in a new way with your family through the Soundbridge Program at the Seattle Symphony. The Instrument Making and Song Writing workshop is a fun and educational environment where your kids and can make and play their own instruments. Then, with the help of a local song writer, learn how to use those instruments in original songs.
