Interested in seeing the world with your ears? A contact mic can be the looking glass that helps you see a new audio world around you! Music Box Village will be holding family and individual workshops building contact mics this winter/holiday season. You will learn what a contact mic is, build one, and then mount one in either an acoustic device of your own, in a homemade instrument made from found objects, or maybe even your body!

This is a very good entry level workshop into using a soldering iron and working with amplification. It is advised that if you have experience with soldering, instrument building and audio experimentation, please wait for our circuit bending and hacking classes later in the Winter/Spring.

Students will leave with their own soldering kit!

FEES:

$175 for individuals

$200 for families (one kid + one parent)
