Margaret Helfrick String Studio

In these workshops, children are encouraged to be as creative as they want, both in decorating and in inventing their own instruments. I supply enough materials for everyone, but children are welcome to bring their own as well.

We have held these workshops in several area libraries and community centers, and they are always a big hit. Some parents like to get involved with making the instruments too. Activities are mainly geared toward ages 5 - 9, but there are often older children who get very involved with creating more complex instruments. Younger children will need an adult to stay with them.

Looking for a unique activity for a birthday party? How about constructing musical instruments out of found objects and ending with a jam session? Contact me for details.

I also do workshops for older children (and adults) who want to make more substantial instruments out of wood and/or cardboard.
