Petting Zoo

The Petting Zoo for Instruments is just like the petting zoo at the zoo. They are shown how the instrument is played up-close and taught how to hold the instrument. The children are allowed to play and touch the instruments that are brought out. By giving the children a chance to try these instruments, they will have a better idea in their minds about whether or not they want to learn it. Especially during the later elementary school years when students are given the choice to choose an instrument, this allows them to make a more thought out decision.
