    Keep Learning at Home with Video Instruction

    Rhythm Kids’ learning continues at home with interactive videos designed to be a fun, anytime activity for kids and parents alike. This cutting edge approach brings a fun, constructive activity to your family’s day and sets the stage for further musical learning.

    While your kids are having fun, they’ll be refining focus, dexterity, coordination, and rhythm – all things they’ll use every day for the rest of their lives.

    Do I Need a Djembe Drum at Home?

    While you don’t strictly need a Djembe at home, the more you engage in musical play of any kind, the better it is for development – not to mention family enjoyment and bonding!  Level II Kids are expected to have a Djembe at home.

    Another reason having a home drum is a great idea is because as long as you play it a few times a week, you are setting the stage for habit-building in other walks of life. Kids learn the benefits of practising which is valuable when it comes time for them to take private music lessons as well as other types of classes.

    ABC Academy is offering a home drum rental for $14.97 per month, per drum, so you can jam out, play along, or just get the day’s stress out as a family!  We’ll ask you about if you want drums for home when you register!
