Instrument Petting Zoos give young children a hands-on introduction to the world of music. RPO staff bring a variety of musical instruments directly to schools, community organizations, and events, where children can explore, touch, and try playing each instrument while learning how sounds are made. These interactive experiences spark curiosity, encourage creativity, and help children discover the joy of making music.
