School of Music Director Yana Stotland shares a wonderful video from DIY Labs showing how you and your kids can make your own musical instruments! Start with everyday items already in your home, from an empty toilet paper roll to rice or dried beans (the video details what you’ll need for each instrument), and make functional (and super cute) maracas, rain sticks, tambourines and drums. It’s a terrific craft project, and when you’re finished you’ll have adorable homemade instruments for the family band!
