Musical Instruments (bring your own instruments)

Did you ever play guitar in a rock band? How about harmonica in a blues ensemble? Or take piano lessons in elementary school? Most of us have played a musical instrument at some point in our lives. But if you haven’t touched your guitar, harmonica, or piano in decades, now’s your chance to dust it off and give it a fresh audition! Now that you have the time to give it the attention it deserves, why not bring that instrument back to life? Better yet – learn a new one!
