If your kid can hold the sticks, they’re old enough to learn to play drums! Give your little drummer a solid musical foundation with our Pre-K Drums class.
This class is a ton of fun and gives children the opportunity to play various percussion instruments including hand drums, shakers, woodblocks and maracas. Kids will even get to try out a drum set! We work together as a group using call and response techniques, introducing the kids to basic rhythm reading.
The benefits of this class far exceed rhythm play – students learn how to follow directions, practice their listening skills and enjoy music while working with others.
