Xylomania! Summer Music Workshops for Kids is in its seventh year serving children in the St. Louis area. Each year, there is a different theme with ALL NEW music, games, and activities. Most of our music is composed to fit the various needs of the children in the workshops. And, the children play an important role in how the music will be performed. Our enrollment continues to grow every year!
