Inwood Haven: Making Melodies of Inwood (Family Workshop #2)

What does Inwood sound like?

What music comes to mind when you think of Inwood?

Join us for a musical family workshop for adults and kids ages 5-18! Participants will learn how to use flashcards, boomwhackers, and bells to create melodies and rhythms inspired by our Inwood neighborhood with local composer Evelyn Petcher Brandes and teaching artist Julie Lawrence.

Your musical ideas from this workshop will come to life in Ms. Brandes’ newest musical composition premiering this September at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum!

Any accompanying adult is considered a participant of this program. Accompanying adults and youth must reserve a ticket. Participants may be photographed during this workshop and will be asked to sign a media release form.
