(7 and above & Adult Learners)
When did you last do something completely new with your child?
Make Music, Make Memories is a 60-minute participatory music workshop designed for intergenerational pairs — parents or grandparents with a child aged 7 and above.
Offered in three variations (guitar, keyboard, or drums), participants select a preferred instrument and are guided through foundational technique and musical concepts by experienced music instructors. Each workshop is conducted on a single instrument.
The workshop is structured around a single song, Count on Me by Bruno Mars, and concludes with a mini performance. No prior musical experience is required.
You no longer need to be afraid of learning alone. You’ve got a partner to count on!
Workshop requirement: A minimum of 3 pairs (6 participants) is required for each variation to run. Participants choose which variation they wish to join at the point of registration.
