Workshop: Students will be immersed in instrumental music and gain the rare opportunity to actually play instruments from the four families of the orchestra (strings, percussion, woodwinds and brass), including violin, flute, trumpet, percussion, and keyboard. They will learn the science (physics) behind the sound production of each of the instruments, as well as their cultural history.
