World Music Journey for Kids
World music circles • Drumming • Learn to play instruments from around the world • Folk songs and chants • Weekly group classes
This is a fun hands-on approach to playing music. Each child will have the opportunity to play an array of instruments from around the world. I will guide their musical development in a non-pressured but educational manner allowing for each student in the group to discover his or her “voice” in a music circle. Even the shyest ones will be soloing after a few classes!
The younger groups learn the basics to playing the instruments while focusing on playing music in a fun group setting. Each week we will learn simple rhythms, songs and musical concepts. Everyone is a beginner at some point, as the students get more experienced, they will assume different roles in the world music “band.” (i.e. holding down the rhythm, playing the flute solo…)
The older groups will learn selected rhythms and songs from around the world, such as an African chant, a Middle Eastern dance rhythm, or a Native American melody. They will also learn to improvise, solo and play in a world music band!
Some of the instruments your child will learn to play:
Simple flutes such as the Native American flute and pennywhistle. Flutes will be available for purchase at a reasonable price (optional).
Drums from around the world such as frame drums, dumbek, small percussion instruments, gongs, wood blocks…
Stringed instruments from around the world such as Chinese zither, Hawaiian Ukelele
Other fun instruments such as harmonium, balaphone (African marimba), kalimba (African thumb piano), xylophones…
