Classes are for children K–2 (ages 5 through 8) and include:
-
Weekly, 45-minute classes
-
Animal Collection Songbook and CD each semester
-
Access to online video tutorials and play-alongs

This Winter is our Elephant Song Collection! featuring rhythms from Australia! The Elephant Rhythm 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 choreographed dancing and drumming in “Music Everywhere.” We’ll also learn a delightful 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.
In addition to your weekly classes, tuition includes a new songbook, along with online access to the music and bonus activities, as well as Rhythm Kids videos to watch at home.
