Explore and create your own music!

Our Making Music Studio is the perfect way for children of all ages (and their caring adults!) to play around with sound. Explore music through movement by jumping on the joyful Dancing Dots carpet. Build your own musical instruments in the “Have You Heard?” and "Let's Make Music" DIY creation stations. Express yourself by recording your own song, including rhythm, melody, sound effects, and vocals in the My Soundtrack station. No previous musical experience needed; we provide a playful and engaging way to explore sound for everyone!

The Making Music Studio was made possible in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. To learn more, visit www.imls.gov
