About
Calgary music retailer Long and McQuade has donated time and resources to bring instruments for the public to hold and play in the lobby. The experience of holding an instrument, and learning how to make a sound is engaging and authentic. It will give the opportunity for aspiring musicians to learn more about the instruments and give those who appreciate music a higher level of awareness of what the musicians are experiencing when they perform. This is a wonderful interactive hands-on activity for all ages.
Hosted by Matthew Ferguson
