Rhythm Kids is the next musical step for your big kid (ages 4–5 - prekinders, and 1st and 2nd graders). Each week we drum, sing, dance, play rhythm instruments, and begin to play music-based games. Rhythm Kids guides children toward developmentally appropriate 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
-
even take a drum solo!
Rhythm Kids carries on the Music Together® vision to help children complete the pathway of early childhood music development from birth through age eight.
-
weekly, 30-minute classes
-
Songbook, CD, dowload and the Hello Everybody app
