Richelle uses a variety of instruments to share songs\, including the keyboard\, guitar\, ukulele\, and mandolin. The children choose from drums\, shakers\, and tambourines. Preparing for the next song\, Richelle asks the children about the sound of the instrument\, if the music is fast or slow\, what the song is about\, and if it is happy or sad. She adjusts song selections and interactions to fit multiple ages. \nPurchase tickets to the museum\nThis project is supported in part by funding from the Mississippi Arts Commission\, a state agency\, and the National Endowment for the Arts\, a federal agency. \n \n  \n
