Instrument Petting Zoo In-Person
Families with children are invited to explore, touch, and play a variety of musical instruments in a fun and interactive setting. Long Beach Symphony’s beloved Instrument Petting Zoo (IPZ) is visiting Oak View Branch Library! IPZ is a collection of orchestral instruments that travel around to neighborhood libraries and community events to provide children with a hands-on exploratory music education experience. Knowledgeable volunteers will give a special presentation to explain how each instrument works, how to produce a sound, and how each instrument fits into the orchestra. Afterwards, children will have the chance to put what they learned to the test and try each instrument. The Instrument Petting Zoo is designed to pique the interest of young children in playing an instrument and create lifelong music lovers.
