NE Phx ~ Kids.Play.Music. (
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 Zoom class and/or online classes
- Animal Collection Songbook and 2 CD's each semester
- Access to online drum-play videos and other material
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!
