Rhythm Kids® follows through on the Music Together® vision to help children complete the pathway of early childhood music development from birth through age 8. As part of the Rhythm Kids® experience, children and their grownups can enjoy drumming play and practice sessions at home with the help of online play-along videos featuring Rhythm Kids® creator Tom Foote. 

Classes are for children ages 4yrs through 8yrs and include: 

10 weekly, 45-minute classes 

Animal Collection Songbook and CD each semester

• Rhythm Kids® Parent Guide

This is an instrument-learning class, so your child will need a drum. Please ask your teacher about where to purchase a drum for class and home practice!
