As a vital part of the Rhythm Kids® experience, children and their grownups enjoy drumming play and practices sessions at home with the help of online play-along videos featuring Rhythm Kids® creator Tom Foote.
Rhythm Kids® students are required to purchase a djembe for children to use at home and to bring to class each week. Have a younger sibling? Consider bringing both children to a Mixed Ages class together. A second option: have your Rhythm Kid child try out participating in class without their grownup; parent can wait in our lobby with younger sibling.
You are welcome to join a preview Rhythm Kids® class. Please RSVP online or call the office, 602-363-8202, and we can help you arrange your visit.
