Children will explore a new region of the world, discovering unique instruments, colorful traditions, and vibrant music from cultures near and far. Through guided play, sing-alongs, and rhythm games, children will experience instruments like the African djembe, the Australian didgeridoo, and more. Perfect for young explorers, this program celebrates diversity and creativity, fostering a love for music while expanding cultural awareness. Let’s discover and color our world with the joy of music!

African Drum Circle

Unleash the rhythm within you with our exclusive program that teaches you to play a range of West African hand drums, including the djembe and the talking drum. The program wraps up with an exhilarating dance and drum circle, where you get to showcase your newly acquired skills. Mister Boom Boom exclusively performs this program.

Sing & Play Storytime

Get ready to sing, dance, and play along in this musical storytelling program, featuring beloved books like Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! Children will explore these classic tales through catchy songs, rhythm games, and playful instruments, bringing every page to life with sound and movement. Kids will stomp like a bear, munch like a caterpillar, and groove to the alphabet’s beat as they develop early literacy, rhythm, and listening skills. Perfect for little ones ages 2-6. Let’s move, make music, and experience the magic of storytime in a whole new way!
