Rhythm Kids
follows through on the Music Together®® vision to help children complete the
pathway of early childhood music development from birth through age eight. 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.

Students should
have their own hand drum for use at home (and potentially for use in
class—please check with Jess Day).
