Experience the 'Amazing Music Studio' in Detroit

The 'Amazing Music Studio' is the latest exhibit to play at the New Detroit Science Center. It will be running from June 11, 2005 until October 2, 2005; basically all summer long!

Music is such a big part of life these days. It's a combination of art and science. There are so many people working behind the scenes of the music that you listen you. There are producers, performers and listerners.

At the Amazing Music Studio, you will be able to explore music from several different perspectives. You will see the physics, technology, history, artists and listen.

There is so much new technology being used in today's music. There will be over 30 hands-on activities. You will be able to act as a DJ on the mixing desk. You will be able to sing in the Karaoke shower. How many of you do that??

You will also have the chance to play an invisible harp and dance on top of a giant piano. How many artists do that in real life? I can think of one, Phil Vassar!!

There will be a recording studio where you can mix your own four-track tape. You will get a look at the Abbey Road Studios, where the Beatles made many of their hit songs.

A listening area will describe how your ears work and if you can hear through other parts of your body. What do you think...is it possible?

A professional stage designer will show you how he puts on a rock show. You can see the work of Mark Fisher, who designed the shows of U2 and The Rolling Stones.

The Amazing Music Studio runs from June 11, 2005 until October 2, 2005. Admission for this exhibit is $3 for adults, $2 for children age 2 and up and for seniors. You must pay for admission to the Science Center first.

There will also be a concert series supporting this exhibit. As soon as the announcement is made, you will find it on Detroit's #1 Concert Listing. AmericaJR.com will have free tickets to the Detroit Science Center and this special once-in-a-lifetime exhibit very soon. Stay tuned to our Contests page.
