Roulette Kids Presents: Playing with Pedals

Through the utilization of cutting edge samplers and musical loop stations, composer and teaching artist Natalie Elizabeth Weiss will help children discover their inner songwriter. In this fun-filled hour long workshop, children will learn that composition is as easy as stomping your feet and pressing big shiny buttons. Ideal for both children with musical experience and without, this workshop will provide youngsters with a nonthreatening environment in which they can express themselves through the magic of electronic instruments.
