Description

Keep Music Alive is seeking volunteers to help with our Musical Instrument Petting Zoo (no animals involved) on Sunday, May 17th - Noon to 6:00PM for the  Arts on the Avenue Festival event on Lansdowne Avenue in Lansdowne, PA (specific location TBD).  You do not need to volunteer for the entire duration… just an hour or two would be great.

WHAT is a Musical Instrument Petting Zoo???  We’re glad you asked!  It is often referred to as the “Please Touch Museum” for musical instruments (no animals involved) where children & adults get to have a fun, interactive experience with over 50 different musical instruments – an opportunity to touch & play every instrument! 

NO MUSICAL EXPERIENCE is required.  We need help keeping tables of instruments (and their signs) organized.  Our goal is to inspire the next generation of music makers.  We'll show you how to demonstrate some of the more unique percussion instruments (it, literally, takes on seconds) and you'll be having lots of fun in no time.

STUDENTS:  For high school students, we can provide a Volunteer Credit Service Letter.  For college bound or current college students, we provide a stipend.

WEATHER:  If there is the potential for rain, we will contact you the morning of, to let you know if the event has been cancelled or moved to an indoor facility.

THANK YOU for checking out our volunteer opportunity!
