Description

Highly energetic program where kids will learn a fun exercise that includes the basics of rhythm and counting using a variety of sounds. This beginner class is designed for kids who are new to the fundamentals of percussion.

  • Finger snaps
  • Body slaps
  • Suggestions can also be incorporated into the program

At the end of the session, attendees will perform a short percussion piece together.
