Designed for children ages 5
through 8 (but also enjoyed by children of all ages), the activity
presents the experience of playing in a country band. Guests can
perform on the keyboard and strum the guitar or dobro to play the
corresponding parts of a song. With multiple players, each has an
opportunity to provide the melody, while the others simultaneously provide
appropriate rhythm parts. It combines the thrill of truly realistic interaction with musical instruments and the satisfaction of never sounding bad, regardless of skill. |
