It is a music workshop to teach children the fundamentals of music with playing three different instruments: the handpan, piano, and various percussion instruments. The workshop could include activities, music games and lessons to help children develop musical skills, appreciate different types of instruments, and foster a love for music. It may cover aspects like rhythm, melody, coordination, and creativity through engaging lessons with these diverse musical instruments. The goal is to provide a well-rounded musical learning experience for children.
