Drumming With Children
FunDrum Rhythm Circles offers interactive, rhythm-based, skill building programs for elementary and middle school students.

Using a variety of drums and percussion instruments, children will engage in a community drum circle with the aim of having lots of fun while simultaneously learning about music, rhythm and world cultures.
