Forest Music Experience — Interactive Instrument Workshop

Not a lesson. Not a sound bath.

An experience where everyone creates music together.

Come and experience music in a completely hands-on way. This relaxed, 90-minute small-group workshop invites you to explore unique instruments, discover simple rhythms and make music together in a friendly, low-pressure setting.

You’ll have the opportunity to try handpans, tongue drums, kalimbas, ocarinas, lyres and other unusual melodic instruments available in the showroom. We’ll explore different sounds and musical ideas before bringing everything together for a relaxed group jam.

No musical experience is required. You don’t need to read music, there is no pressure to perform, and all instruments are provided.
