Continuing Education Programs

We believe in lifelong learning and we think Cantos is a great place to do it! Explore science, technology, music, history, culture and more with our themed tours and workshops.

Themed Group Tours


A trip through the Cantos Music Collection brings rock music to life from Boogie Woogie piano of Meade Lux Lewis and Albert Ammonds to the warm tones of the Hammond B3 in '60s soul to the pulsating drum machine technology used in disco and forward through the decades to modern recording and instrument technology. Hear the music on the instrument for which it was written!

Toggles, Triggers and Tracks: icon
This tour is an electronics buff's dream. Learn how inventors and musicians have used technology to create sound from the earliest Theremin and Ondes Martenot instruments through to the Robb Wave organ built out of a six-cylinder car engine  and vacuum tubes, Lesley speakers, tape replay technology and modular synths.

 

Workshops

Blue Mondays Workshops

On the last Monday of every month, Cantos hosts the Blue Mondays All Ages Jam. Every second month, the program includes a workshop relevant to blues music and blues musicians. One workshop might teach basic blues harmonica while the next will reveal the life and times of blues legends. Then, stick around for the jam!
