Each class we drum, sing, dance, play rhythm instruments, and begin to play music-based games. Rhythm Kids® will help guide 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
-
even take a drum solo!
Rhythm Kids® (RK) includes:
-
10-45-minute In-Person classes at our EHT location.
-
Animal Collection Songbook, access code for digital downloads (CD available upon request for no additional charge.)
-
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 beat, improvising, ensemble play, and soloing
-
Learn to create, cooperate, and express themselves musically
Rhythm Kids® Families are encouraged to purchase their own drum to be used in both class and at home. This is available at the time of registration. Families who are not purchasing a drum will still have to rent one from Andrea for a fee. The rental option can also be found at the time of checkout on the registration form. Rentals for the session are $75 with a refund of $25 when the drum is returned intact at the end of the session. All other instruments and items used in the RK class will be supplied by Andrea.
Mixed ages; infant-4
Families will register for an individual class at the location of their choice. Child development researchers have long considered mixed age groupings to be beneficial, and the Music Together® program is designed with this in mind. Classes are structured in a "Family Style" learning where activities focus on adult/child interaction rather than child/child interaction, so children of different ages (siblings, for example) can enjoy classes together!
Our Classes include:
-A Once-a-week class for 10 weeks at the registered location of your choice.
-A beautiful color-illustrated songbook, with access to digital downloads. (CD's available by request at no additional charge.)
-Bonus material found on the national website which includes other activities, worksheets...
-Unlimited Makeups!!!!
