Rhythm Kids® (4-8 years)

Big kids play their djembe drums.
In a Rhythm Kids class, students explore rhythm by playing with music from around the world. Music Together® trained teachers lead dynamic classroom activities designed especially for early elementary children. The discovery continues at home with interactive Rhythm Kids videos, easily viewable in the Family Music Zone or the Music Together app. As they drum, sing, play instruments, and move to different rhythms, children naturally build musicality that helps them prepare for formal music lessons. Children learn complicated multicultural drumming patterns with a tried-and-true method, while developing new repertoire on percussion instruments, learning music-reading readiness, exploring movement and dance, deepening their vocal ability, and playing fun music games! Opportunities to solo, work in ensembles, and improvise can support social and listening skills, self-expression, and self-confidence. Grownups stay and play!

Families get a songbook and optional CD, digital access to the songbook and recording, drumming tutorials, and video play-alongs. Consider this the beginning step of instrument study! 

​Students should have their own djembe or hand drum for use at home and for use in class.

Elephant Song Collection

The Elephant Collection features triple-meter drumming patterns inspired by the traditional social dance from Mali known as Suku. We'll enjoy dramatic play in "Elephant Stampede," and all kinds of musical fun with our version of the classic, “Skinnamarink” (new this winter!). We'll also learn a Gaelic children's song called "Dilín ó Deamhas" and, of course, have a blast doing "The Elephant Dance"! All the songs in this collection have been chosen and arranged specifically to support each student's music development.
