Rhythm Kids was created and developed by musician, composer and percussionist, Tom Foote, with more than ten years of in-class research with children of all ages. Tom noticed that many children stop taking music classes between the ages of 4-5 because they aged out of “Mommy & Me” classes and they weren’t quite ready for private instruction. Rhythm Kids is designed to help children integrate and assimilate rhythm into their lives in a way that will keep them engaged, and actively participating in music, for as long as possible.
Each week we drum, sing, dance, play rhythm instruments, and begin to play music-based games. Rhythm Kids guides children toward developmentally appropriate music and movement activities, where they can begin to take charge, lead others, and be musically creative, as they: make up their own drumming patterns invent new ways to play rhythm instruments (shakers, sticks, etc.) create movement ideas for songs even take a drum solo! Children integrate and assimilate rhythm into their lives, as they: learn multicultural drumming patterns; develop new repertoire on various percussion instruments; explore movement and dance while singing songs; play games based on music and drumming; have fun with a host of rhythm activities.
