Build some drums and learn about the percussion family of instruments!

Kids will learn how percussion instruments produce and amplify sounds as they construct a marching band drum trio, rainstick, den den daiko, & snare drum. Decorating will be encouraged! We’ll play a few rhythm games and learn the basics of composing rhythmic patterns. Come to 1 or all sessions!
