Feeling cooped up practicing self-isolation? Maybe it’s time to start a band! Don’t worry – you can use almost anything to make music. Maggie Rogers wrote the rhythm for her song “Alaska” by simply tapping her thighs. Sibling band Bailen started playing music when they were little by banging on pots and pans! KT Tunstall uses loop pedals and stomps on a tambourine to create the sound of a whole band all on her own!
