EXPERIENCE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF RHYTHM AND SOUND FOR CHILDREN
Each session blends songs, rhythm-based games, and the use of simple percussion instruments such as shakers, drums, and bells. Through clapping, tapping, and playful beat-making. Movement and dance are integrated throughout—encouraging little ones to stretch, sway, bounce, and move freely, while developing coordination and body awareness. With a focus on fun and exploration, these sessions create a lively and supportive environment where children and caregivers can laugh, play, and discover music together.
