Exploring the World of Sound and Feeling
Invite your child to embark on a joyful sensory adventure through sound, rhythm, and creativity!
In this 90-minute SoundPlay Works™ workshop, children explore fascinating instruments from around the world, including crystal bowls, tuning forks, singing bowls, chimes, and the ocean drum to discover how sound vibrations can be heard, seen, and felt.
Through playful listening, mindful Humming Breath practice, and expressive art-making, students learn how sound travels through the body and how it can calm, energize, or inspire.
Designed especially for young explorers, Sense’sations nurtures curiosity, emotional awareness, and sensory mindfulness. Each child will listen, feel, hum, draw, and share their discoveries, leaving the session relaxed, inspired, and connected to the world of sound in a whole new way.
