What is an "instrument petting zoo?"

It's an opportunity for people to experience music in the closest way they can: coming from them!! Our event guests, especially children and teens, get to hold and even make a few sounds on the instruments. We are grateful for The Music Shoppe Inc. who are always our willing partners in these pop up events.

Our upcoming "Everystring but the Violin Party" on August 15th in Spring Valley is the next opportunity to put your hands on a string instrument! Come on out to the Spring Valley Community Event Center 10-12 on Saturday to hear—and play on—violas, cellos, and basses!
