Make an Instrument, Make some Noise

Make an Instrument & Make Some Noise!With musicians from the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra

Join Emma from the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and special guest Ian (a retired Exeter University professor with a passion for instrument making,) for a creative, hands-on music workshop.

Together, you’ll build your own harp zither — a beautiful stringed instrument — and then learn how to play it as part of a group. We will prepare all the materials in advance, ready to assemble on the day, so all you need to bring is your enthusiasm. No experience required.

This is a structured workshop (not a drop-in) designed for children aged 8–12 and their grown-ups. To help with making and music-making, parents or carers are asked to stay on site and are welcome to join in. The session will last for up to 2 hrs with a short break

A free event, but places are limited — booking essential.

You’re welcome to bring your own lunch or snacks, and there is a cafe onsite.

Don’t miss this chance to get creative, make your own instrument, and make some noise!
