Saturday December 7 * 1-4pm * $85 (Please email info@rhizomedc.org for sliding scale options)

In this intensive instrument building workshop, veteran musician and instrument builder Jason Mullinax will instruct students on how to construct their very own amplified spring boxes (Springzingers) as well as some of the many techniques that can be used to play them. At the end of the session, students will be able to take their one-of-a-kind electroacoustic percussion instruments home to show off to their friends and family. Please note that participants will be using drills, saws, soldering irons, and other basic hand tools - so dress accordingly. All experience levels welcome and no previous musical background required. Ages 12 & up, or 8-12 with an adult.
