Many Cass County 4-H’ers are involved with music at school or take lessons to learn more about their instrument or to improve their skills. But did you know that you can enroll in music as a 4-H project too?
Some possible FAIR EXHIBITS might include:
- Compose or arrange your own song
- Build your own musical instrument
- Keep a diary tracking your music lessons and the progress you’ve learned
- Research your favorite composer or music style – create a poster or notebook
- Record yourself singing or performing
Fair exhibits entered in the music project will be judged by the Personal Development Judge. You can add music to your 4-H enrollment. Call the Extension Office at 243-1132 and ask to add Music (8710) to your list of projects.
