We challenged two of our musicians to play along with Also Sprach Zarathustra
using DIY instruments to show that anyone can make music at home, whether you have instruments or not. We absolutely LOVE what they came up with and we know you will too.
Find multiple ways to make DIY instruments and music at home below and in the full activity guide here.
