Make holiday music with your kids

BETHEL, NY — On Saturday, December 12, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts and The Janice Center will present a “Holiday and Me” music and arts workshop in the Event Gallery at The Museum at Bethel Woods.

The workshop will provide a day for kids and parents to make holiday music together. Participants will first make their own instruments: drums, shakers, maracas, etc. using typical craft materials. Then they will use their creations to make holiday music while participating in a music circle that features dancing, singing, playing and more. The music circle approach is designed to introduce and cultivate musical and artistic interests in preschoolers through fourth graders.

Directed by Tanya Cohen of The Janice Center with assistance from master craftswoman Linda Steiger, two workshops will be offered. A program for children up to four years old will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., followed by one from 12:30 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. for children ages five to nine.

The cost is $24 per child and includes all materials for the workshop. Registration is required.
