Rhythm Kids by Music Together logo with blue text on a white background.

Ages 4-8

Parent attendance optional for ages 5-8.

Big kids know what they like: silly stories, games, and being in charge. Our Rhythm Kids classes for pre-K and early elementary use music games, animal rhythm stories, and active play to match how they learn.

Each 45-minute weekly class includes:

  • Drumming, singing, moving, and rhythm games inspired by global traditions (e.g., West African Gahu, Japanese Taiko, Brazilian Samba)

  • Optional parent attendance

  • New music downloads of class songs

  • Play-along videos

  • Illustrated songbook with family activities

  • Parent and online resources
