Soundwave Workshop: DIY Kalimba (Tuesday, 17 June 2025)

Ready to build your very own instrument and create music that sounds just like summer? In this exciting Soundwave Workshop, kids become both makers and musicians as they assemble their own kalimba — a magical thumb piano known for its cheerful, calming tones.

Children will personalise their kalimbas with bright, summery colours and patterns, then follow step-by-step guidance to assemble the instrument. Once complete, they’ll learn to play simple, sweet melodies and bring their creations to life.

It’s the perfect mix of creative crafting, musical discovery and hands-on fun, specially curated for curious kids who love to make, play and explore!
