Make a Musical Instrument Workshop

A two part workshop in which you will make a musical instument and then perform a piece playing that insturment.
The workshop will have two parts. The first section will be to make a musical instrument. There will be four different instruments to make using precut wood and other materials. The making section of the workshop will end with a period of listening, adapting and tuning the instruments.
The second part of the workshop will be a performance of Simon Belshaw's Music Machine 41. "there's a lovely complex simplicity to the idea and layout is really easy to understand. You could easily go down a route of discussing aleatoric music at an academic level, or have a group of 5 year olds creating their own performance." It uses an innovative web based score that uses coloured blocks to instruct performers. It is for a minimum of four players with no maximum number. In common with many of the Music Machines, no musical knowledge nor ability are required to perform it. There is no wrong way to play it and there can be no mistakes.
Attendees will keep their instruments when the workshop is finished.
Children must be accompanied by an adult. An adult attending in a supervisory role does not need to book a ticket.
