Music Making August 19, 2010

Get ready to make some noise at the Children’s Museum in Easton! On Thursday, August 19th from 10:30AM-3PM we will be moving to the rhythms and beats that we create. Of course, we will need some help from our special guests! At 11AM master drummer, Tony Fonseca of All Hands Drumming, will be making music with us. But the party doesn’t stop then! At 1PM join musicians Jenn Bliss and Jason Berube as they explore the wonderful world of music. They will show us how to play various musical instruments, and even let us showcase our musical talents at our very own concert! In between shows make your own musical instrument at one of our craft stations so that the music doesn’t have to stop once you leave the museum! Join us as we shake, rattle, and roll on this musical day at the Children’s Museum. Special thanks to Maplewood Country Day Camp for sponsoring this event.
