Grades: K-5

Percussion 4 Kids is a FUN and educating way for children to learn musical instruments through the study of percussion and rhythm. By taking this class, children will learn how to count rhythm, recognize music notes, and play percussion instruments to their favorite hit songs on the radio! (And many classic rock songs too!)  This percussion class gives children exciting ways to make music and discover rhythm with their very own instruments.  Understanding rhythm and basic music fundamentals is a critical stepping-stone to many other musical instruments. Our Percussion teachers have experience playing in their very own bands, and have an outstanding knowledge of many musical instruments.

In-class instruments and learning aids for your child will include: Drum Pads, Symbols, Maracas, hand-bells, Chimes, and many more!  At the end of the session, parents will be invited to come to the end of the class for a small concert showcasing the rhythms and instruments that your child has mastered in our class!  If you wish to purchase a drum pad for your child to practice outside of the Percussion 4 Kids classroom, you may do so by filling out the form sent home with your child on the first day of class.  We will process your order and bring your child his or her very own drum pad the following class!
