In Rhythm Kids®, children ages 4-8 dig deeper and gain a richer understanding of how music works. Each week we drum, sing, dance, play rhythm instruments, and play music-based games that reinforce, in a fun, playful manner, the rhythm patterns that we learn in class. 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 practice soloing, ensemble play and conducting! Rhythm Kids™ carries on the Music Together® vision to help children complete the pathway of early childhood music development from birth through age eight. Classes include: 9 weekly, 45-minute classes (5 in the Summer) Songbook, CDs and Download Codes Access to online drum-play videos and other material Children will: Explore the world of rhythm through movement, instrument play, and song Develop basic rhythm skills, like keeping a variety of levels of beat, Learn to create, improvise, cooperate, and express themselves musically Rhythm Kids™ parents are encouraged to stay and participate!
