the musical storytelling at Music Play Patrol
Our musical storytelling program works with libraries to provide interactive and high-quality music education sessions at an affordable cost. We are happy to announce we have resumed in-person services throughout the Philadelphia region.
During this pandemic, we need to do everything possible to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. That is why we now offer virtual services, Â including Zoom classes and prerecorded digital content on our YouTube channel (@musicplaypatrol).
Our curriculum consists of interactive lessons, including Musical Storytelling, Movement Activities, DIY Instruments, World Music, African & Latin Percussion, etc.Â
If you’re ready for more info, we’d love to speak to you!
