Make your own tin can Drum Workshop with Gal Cohen  Let’s make some noise—creatively! Using recycled tin cans, we’ll design and build our own drums, then bring them to life with rhythm and sound. This workshop invites kids and grown-ups alike to explore making, decorating, and playing together.

Talking Drums Workshop by Shai Wetzer  “The rhythm exists within us, waiting to break out.  You will be surprised at what it has to say. Talking Drums Workshop is an engaging experience that introduces you to diverse rhythms from around the world, teaching various drumming styles on instruments like the darbuka, frame drum, and djembe. Together, we will explore rhythms using drums, percussive instruments, and our own bodies as we create music together that reflects our collective creativity and energy as a percussive ensemble. Learn to express yourself in a new way while enhancing your listening skills and teamwork abilities.
