During Discovery Day at Kaufman Music Center on Tuesday, June 13, children ages 4+ can strum on a guitar, learn how it feels to bow a cello, and take a turn at the trumpet or saxophone-plus more! From 3:30pm - 6:30pm, stop by and encourage interaction with instruments under the guidance of   Lucy Moses School's experienced, nurturing  faculty members . Families can also step into Kaufman Music Center's  Merkin Concert Hall  to enjoy short performances by talented young Lucy Moses School  students. Snacks will be available during the event. 

Additionally, on June 13, children and their caregivers can participate in a sample 20-minute  Dalcroze Eurhythmics  class in which they'll explore musical concepts through active rhythm games, creative movement, songs and stories.
