At Music School Demo’s iPad jam session, people create music together. The idea behind the jam session is to make music freely: rather than rehearsing set pieces, the music is created and takes shape in the moment based on the ideas of the participants. Thanks to user-friendly apps, the end result will sound great, even if you have no prior knowledge or experience of playing music. You can come and go as you please at the non-stop workshop, but the music never stops. The instructors at Music School Demo offer guidance and also play along themselves. The workshop will be organised as part of the World Children’s Day event at Cultural Centre Kanneltalo. For more information: tapahtumat@jamkids.fi
