Events Description
Step into PlayLab and explore rhythm through hands-on, high-energy music making.
This free drop-in program invites participants ages 4-12 to experiment with beat, patterns, and group music-making with boomwhackers, djembes, and wooden spoons.
Come for a few minutes or stay awhile and make some noise!
PlayLab is a hands-on sound playground where young visitors can discover how music works. With interactive stations that feature strings, wind, percussion, and electronic instruments, kids experiment with the building blocks of sound—pitch, volume, timbre, and vibration. Pluck a string, strike a drum, blow into an organ, or shape sound on a synth to hear how instruments create their unique voices. Designed for curiosity and creativity, PlayLab encourages visitors to listen closely, explore freely, and learn how musicians turn sound into music.
