SUMMARY:CIBC Backbeat: Bow & Tell with James Watson
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturdays in PlayLab 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\, including musicians from the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra\, this interactive program invites children of all ages and skill levels to step into the world of music-making.  \nPlayLab 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.
