-Bash the Trash is an educational music ensemble which uses homemade instruments made out of found objects and 'trash' by members of the ensemble. The group was co-founded by John Bertles who is an instrument maker and educator. The primary function of the ensemble is children's education surrounding sound making principles, instrument making, music, repurposing and environmentalism. The ensemble is often shifting between new players and the instruments featured. The ensemble is structured around the use of educational workshops where instruments are made and played. There is a heightened focus on simplicity and easy of construction with the instruments made and used by Bash the Trash.  +Bash the Trash is an educational music ensemble which uses homemade instruments made out of found objects and 'trash' by members of the ensemble.

 Bash the Trash is an unusual group to feature on this wiki because though playful the ensemble does not have a direct goal of making idiosyncratic instruments. The goal of the ensemble is often to work with available materials as best it can and places itself in a position of emulating more traditional musical ensembles. Often the results are quite unique in quality of the timbre of each instrument.  Bash the Trash is an unusual group to feature on this wiki because though playful the ensemble does not have a direct goal of making idiosyncratic instruments.
