Make a Musical Canjo

For teens ages 14 to 18 years old. 

About the Program

Build your own one-string musical instrument using simple hand tools and recycled materials! A “canjo” is a fun, homemade version of a banjo, made with a can for the body and a wooden stick for the neck. Learn a bit about how string instruments make sound, then craft and decorate your own canjo to take home. No musical experience required - just bring your creativity!

For teens ages 14 to 18 years old. 

We kindly remind you that registrations will be removed if the registered person does not meet the program’s specified age requirements.
