Targeted at young kids and teens during their school break, the 5-day workshops will let them learn basic melodies and rhythms on either instrument. Adults can also choose from the quick 1-hour introductory classes to play either contemporary or Christian songs, or experience creating music with other players in short jamming sessions. Then anyone 10 years and above can join the 2-hour Cajon &amp; Guitar classes to learn tips and techniques of playing in a small group, either for pop ensemble jamming or Christian worship.
