Do you like music? Would you like to learn a new instrument? Maybe you’re looking for a new hobby!?

For the first session of the 2021 USO Teen/Tween: Making Music series presented by BMO Harris Bank, military youth ages 11-18 will be exploring the mystical sounds of the KALIMBA!

Prior to the virtual session, each participant will receive their own KALIMBA in the mail. During the workshop, professional percussionist, Bas Janssen, will give step by step instructions on how to play the unique instrument and dive into its rich history.
