A musical treat was enjoyed by children ages 5 & up at Brick this summer.  Johnny & Kate are young, hip musicians with a passion for sharing their music. With an assortment of violins, guitars, acoustic & electric guitars, drums, & tambourines, each child had a chance to try out the instruments under the enthusiastic guidance of Johnny & Kate.  Working in small groups, the children were thrilled to try out these grown-up instruments!
