School Holidays: Music Garden Workshop

Children will learn about vocal warm-ups and harmonies from Ru Barb, feast on songwriting secrets from Aspara Gus, get groovy with Sir Paul McCarrotney, and then use what they've learnt to help the band write something fresh and new.

Originally commissioned by Sydney Opera House, this workshop is all about having fun and planting seeds of musical inspiration.

Ages 5-9

ABOUT THE FACILITATORS:

THE VEGETABLE PLOT first sprouted at the 2014 Sydney Fringe, winning the award for Best Children’s Show. Since then, Aspara Gus, Ru Barb and Sir Paul McCarrotney have travelled all over Australia, playing their tunes, spreading “Love and Peas”, and serving up a big wriggling HEAP of truly rotten jokes.

Now part of the ABC Kids music family, with listeners in over 150 countries, multiple international awards, an ARIA nomination and millions of Spotify streams to their name, The Vegetable Plot has grown into that rare thing: a “kids band” that adults enjoy listening to just as much as the kids.
