INDOOR CLASSES

  • Classes will be small in size so we can all sit at a socially safe distance from each other.  
  • We will be sitting on a dance floor, but if you could please bring a blanket so your family can have their own personal "musical, magical carpet" to use.
  • Each family will have their own marked bag of instruments to be used during the semester, provided by Ms. Jenna.  
  • Children under 5 years of age will not need to wear a mask.

*****THERE WILL NOT BE CLASSES ON JANUARY 21ST, 22ND OR 23RD.  MS. JENNA WILL BE OUT OF TOWN THAT WEEK.****

Class Descriptions
Mixed Age Family Class

A mixed age Family class is a community of families sharing songs, instrument play, rhythm chants, and movement activities in a relaxed, playful, non-performance-oriented setting. In this environment Music is learned through developmentally appropriate activities that support and respect the unique learning styles of very young children.

 RHYTHM KIDS (ages 5-8)

Rhythm Kids is an exciting music, movement, and drumming class where children integrate and assimilate rhythm into their lives, as they:

* Learn, create, discover and explore music.

* Enjoy age-appropriate ways to play rhythm instruments (shakers, tambourines, etc.)

* Explore traditional drumming patterns through animal names and movements.

* Experience drumming, song and dance from around the world (Mail, Puerto Rico, Turkey, Syria, etc.)

* Find new ways to connect mind, body, and voice through rhythm.

RHYTHM KIDS STUDENTS WILL NEED THEIR OWNN "DRUM" TO USE AT HOME.  A djembe is preferred, but any hand drum will work, so please use what you can find.  There are drums available on Amazon or you may purchase a drum from Djembe Direct and use the code RHYTHMKIDS to receive a 5% discount.
