Shake It Up Music Classes

This 12-week virtual Zoom session for children ages 3-7 consists of singing, rhythm activities, musical stories, and fun games to keep little ones moving. All you need to bring to class are some rhythm instruments, many of which can be found in your own kitchen! You can buy an instrument kit like the one found below but wooden spoons and a shaker made out of a container filled with dried rice or beans works perfectly fine as well. Parent or guardian participation is encouraged to help little ones along.
