On 28 March 2026, from 11:00 to 13:00, the workshop “Making Our Own Digital Musical Instruments from Everyday Objects” takes place at the Municipality of Meteora Music School in Kalambaka. Yannis Mygdanis designs and leads the workshop, which is intended for children aged 7–11 and combines music-making with construction and digital experimentation using Makey-Makey and Scratch. Participation is free.
Starting with simple conductivity experiments, children will use fruit, coins, aluminium foil, and pencils to build digital musical instruments. They will explore how these materials connect to sounds, rhythms, and sound effects, choose timbres, and develop short musical patterns. The workshop will follow a STEAM education approach, connecting basic ideas from physics with technology and artistic expression through teamwork and repeated listening. At the end, children will present their creations in a small concert.
