LET'S MAKE MUSIC! A weekend music workshop for kids aged 9–13 at the Lakeside Community Center, Riverside.

Do you love music? Do you want to play an instrument, but you don't know how to start? This workshop is for you! No experience is needed.

What will you do? On Friday morning, you will try the drums, the guitar and the keyboard. On Saturday evening, you will choose one instrument and practice with a small group. At the end of the workshop, every group will play one song for the parents.

When? Friday 9:00–12:00 and Saturday 17:00–19:00.

Price: 120 dollars for the weekend. If two or more kids from the same family register, each kid pays only 100 dollars.

What should you bring? A bottle of water and a snack. We have all the instruments, so you don't need to bring your own.

Places are limited — only 30 kids! To register, come to the office at the community center before March 5.
