udderbot is a do-it-yourself musical instrument made of a glass bottle,
a rubber glove, and water. In this course, we will make and decorate
our own udderbots, and then we will form a new kind of ensemble with
all-original music and movement. We will learn to play everything from
harmonious sounds to a cacophonous chaos. We will work together to make
pieces that are both entertaining and provoking, for us and our audience
alike. We welcome people with all levels of musical experience,
including no experience at all! </span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Cambria;font-weight:bold" lang="en-US">Thursdays at 4pm | Cost: $40/registrant (Limited to 4 weeks)</span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">
