Or as a stimulating musical expedition with friends or family.\r\n<blockquote>The motto is: Feel the beat!<\/blockquote>\r\nPlenty of instruments are available \u2013 your own are of course most welcome.\r\n\r\nThese playshops will happen 4 times a year in my new music studio in Wetzikon, Buchgrindelstr. 7.\r\n\r\n<strong>Next dates in Wetzikon\r\n<\/strong><strong>Saturday, 27.
