Music & Dance for Kids

January 23, Saturday, 1-4pm

A hands-on workshop for children ages 5-12. They will recreate the 1920s "Owego Kazoo Band" and learn songs popular many years ago. The children will learn musical parlor games (different versions of musical chairs and others), and move to singing games & dances, just as children did long ago. No prior musical experience necessary! Just a willingness to have fun.

Cost is $5 per child, or $2.50 for members of the TCHS. A minimum of 6 children need to be enrolled to make the program run. Register soon.
