On the left there is a different kind of music but if you press together, note how the melody changes. On the right side are system soprano voices. And then these are registers to change sound,\u201d he demonstrates, and the children join in the fun on their mini accordions filling the room with melodious music.<\/p>\n<p>A stupendous array of workshops have been organised for children at SIBF 2023, which has the theme \u2018We Speak Books\u2019.
