At least two and as many as three classrooms may participate in the Instrument Discovery Lab, for as little as 1 hour or as long as 2.5 hours. Each classroom participating should visit the IDL separately, in waves, for approximately 30 minutes each. The first two waves will be back to back. If a third wave has been scheduled, there will be a short break for the musician teaching artists after the end of the second wave, and the third wave will start at the 90 minute mark.
