Hands-on Music-making Experiences

Try out a variety of instruments, under the guidance of expert musicians.

KidzBeat is a range of activities giving kids arts experiences first-hand. From dance and hooping workshops  through playing music themselves at the instrument petting zoo of woodwind and brass instruments, guided by MSU Community Music School and one-on-one sessions with electric guitar and bass, mentored by professional musicians.

MARSHALL MUSIC is providing an electric guitar and electric bass for kids to explore, and KidzBeat has brought in two outstanding musicians to guide them as they get rockin’ and rollin’.

On the electric guitar all afternoon will be Bob Wilson, a self-taught musician (though with years of music theory studies), who performed professionally with a variety of bands alongside a career in the Air Force and Navy. He’s now retired to his native Lansing, where he enjoys composing and recording music in a home studio – and passing on his love of guitar to the next generation.

On the electric bass will be Joshua Wilson, son of Bob Wilson. He loves sharing how this instrument not only adds the “bass line” but solo riffs as well.

WOODWIND and BRASS Instruments – Talented musicians from MSU’s Community Music School will be providing an “Instrument Petting Zoo” — helping kids try out a variety of orchestra instruments.
