Ages 4-8, parent attendance optional
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
Rhythm Kids classes are currently being held at MelodyKids in Longmont.

immersion in the musical language of many cultures
playful music games with rules
opportunities to lead, balanced with opportunities to collaborate
deep exposure to complex, fun, and rockin' music
many chances to solo, improvise, and work in ensembles
