Rhythm Kids® by Music Together is geared for students (children in grades K-2 and their grownup) who are ready to take charge of their music learning!
In this class, your child will become the music-maker; creating, inventing, initiating, exploring music-reading readiness, playing world-beat drumming patterns, learning silly, syncopated animal chants, moving to the beat, singing melodies, rounds and ostinato parts, transferring their understanding to instruments, and playing rich, sophisticated music-learning games. Your child will learn so much and will be excited to continue learning because they are having so much fun at the same time!
Testimonials from our MT Sing and Groove Rhythm Kids® classes:
"I am really enjoying the kids in Rhythm Kids®! All of them have such fun and different personalities and they are all so excited to contribute. I can’t wait to hear what they will say or do next! They are so creative, and yes I can tell their confidence and musical skill has progressed over the course of Alligator. I never thought that I (or my child) would enjoy online class so much, but you make it so engaging!"
"I can't say enough about what a wonderful music program this is for young children. Rhythm Kids® is wonderful for my active boy. I was skeptical about the virtual class, however it's perfect for my son in the late afternoon when it's hard to get him out of the house and his energy is a little lower. Linda and Jennifer are both so fun and engaging; they are so good at working with preschoolers. They ask questions of the children to get them thinking and to keep them engaged. They are funny and energetic and always smiling. They never ever tell a child to sit and listen. They respect every child's individual needs whether s/he needs to sit or move around, pay attention or not. After several weeks of taking his first music class, I heard my kiddo playing out the rhythm patterns. He's also started making up his own songs. He gets excited to find fermatas and rests in sheets of music. He talks about piano and forte. I see him growing and really appreciating music."
