Join us on Saturdays in PlayLab at Studio Bell for a hands-on violin experience designed for young explorers and future musicians alike!
Presented by Jubilee Arts in partnership with the National Music Centre, and featuring live performances alongside guided instruction from professional violinists, this interactive program invites children of all ages and skill levels to step into the world of music-making.
With a collection of child size violins generously donated by Jubilee Arts, children of all ages will be able to learn and play with guidance from our professional performers. Whether it is their first time holding an instrument or they’re looking for tips to improve their playing for a recital, or even if they just want to listen, this free event is open to children of all ages and skill levels.
About PlayLab
PlayLab is a hands-on sound playground where young visitors can discover how music works. With interactive stations that feature strings, wind, percussion, and electronic instruments, kids experiment with the building blocks of sound—pitch, volume, timbre, and vibration. Pluck a string, strike a drum, blow into an organ, or shape sound on a synth to hear how instruments create their unique voices. Designed for curiosity and creativity, PlayLab encourages visitors to listen closely, explore freely, and learn how musicians turn sound into music.
Backbeat weekend programming is supported by CIBC.
PlayLab is supported by the Alberta Museums Association and the Radomski Foundation.
