The Music Workshop
Step away from your screens with these simple music and movement activities for the entire family. Each activity comes with a short demonstration video as well as a written activity guide. It’s not uncommon to see family movie night or family game night. So, why not start a family music night?
No previous musical experience is needed to access and lead these activities, and they are adaptable for all abilities.
Share photos and videos of your family participating in these activities using #DifferentDynamicsSTL on Facebook and Instagram.
