During this session, children ages 8 and up can learn how to play spoons, following in the Appalachian tradition where two teaspoons are held in one hand and played as a percussion instrument. Simple Gifts will also introduce the rudiments of arranging music: where to play loud or quiet, how to vary the rhythm, and how to choose sounds that match the music. Immediately following this brief session, Simple Gifts will perform a children's concert.
