Margot Stiassni will be presenting a Tropical Make and Shake Music program at the Thomaston Public Library on Friday, January 27th from 4 to 6 PM. Children will be taught to make musical instruments from recycled materials while listening to and singing Caribbean songs and chants. The program is free to the public and will take place in the Children's Room.
"Thinking ecologically, we'll mostly use materials you can find around the house, reusable and recyclable items," Stiassni said. Children will make bongos, rainsticks, maracas and other instruments from anything and everything, including coffee cans, plastic bottles, paper towel rolls, wax paper and rubber bands. The workshop will end with an improvised concert using the new musical instruments.
The workshop is suited for children aged 3-12 but will be suitable for kids and adults of all ages. Children under 6 should be accompanied by an adult. Margot Stiassni is a teacher of music and language at the Penobscot School in Rockland and the Mid Coast Christian Academy. For more information about this program, contact the library at 354-2453.
