Backyard Beats

Every backyard has a story to tell and this one comes with its very own beat! Join our musically talented host Monica as she innovates and creates DIY instruments from everyday household items. Along the way, Monica will be inspired by super talented Junior Jammers as well as professional musicians stopping by her backyard. Each episode ends with Monica testing out the newly constructed craftstrument with a mini backyard concert – with the help of the musical guest and the Junior Jammer!
