| Salado Arts Workshop Featuring Musical Instruments |
| CREATIVE ARTIST WHO NEEDS A STUDIO? |
| Musical Instruments are constructed or used for the purpose of making the sounds of music. In principle, anything that produces sound can serve as a musical instrument. The history of musical instruments dates back to the beginnings of human culture. The academic study of musical instruments is called organology. The date and origin of the first device of disputed status as a musical instrument dates back as far as 67,000 years old; artifacts commonly accepted to be early flutes date back as far as about 37,000 years old. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Music Therapist, Kathleen Brown, joins forces with Salado Arts Workshop Artists to create musical instruments. This wonderful class will involve learning how music is made and the results will be acoustically and artistically wonderful. Students will bring found objects each week (see list below), to make and decorate a different type of instrument, the last week we make music together!
