Rhythm Kids^® (4.5 to 8 year olds)

Rhythm Kids^® is the next musical step for your child (ages 4.5 to 8) with a parent or caregiver.  Each week we drum, sing, play rhythm instruments, and begin to play music-based games.  Rhythm Kids^® guides children toward developmentally appropriate music and movement activities, where they can begin to take charge, lead others, and be musically creative, as they:

• make up their own drumming patterns
• invent new ways to play rhythm instruments (shakers, sticks, etc.);
• create movement ideas for songs;
• and even take a drum solo!

Rhythm Kids^® follows through on the Music Together^® vision to help children complete the pathway of early childhood music development from birth through age eight.

Classes include:

• Weekly hands-on classes
• Animal Collection Songbook and an optional CD each semester
• Access to online drum-play videos

Your child will:

• Explore the world of rhythm through movement, instrument play, and song
• Develop basic rhythm skills, like keeping the beat, improvising, ensemble play, and soloing
• Learn to create, cooperate, and express themselves musically

Rhythm Kids^® students are required to purchase a djembe for children to use at home and to bring to class each week. Drums can be purchased by contacting the office.  Just add hands!
