Introducing kids to music and the movement arts is one of the greatest jobs in the world. Kids are eager learners and acquire new skills quickly, whether that’s with practice scales in chorus or warm-up exercises in martial arts. We’re covering our most popular classes for kids in grades K through 8. Discover what students and schools love about our playful, energetic after-school program!
An After-School Program With A Ukulele Class
Ukuleles are among our favorite instruments at After School Music Academy. They’re the perfect starting point for children learning music for the first time since they’re easy to hold, inexpensive, and timeless! By the end of the course, students will know a few chord progressions, learn a couple of songs, and be able to sing along!
Discover Our Drum Circle Class
Rhythm is innate to the human experience. And kids pick this up naturally! This lively and interactive class aims to teach coordination, cooperation, and the basics of percussion and distinctive tones. Kids absolutely love this one. A big part of our program is choosing age-appropriate instruments for kids. This is a great starter course for any student who wants to get familiar with musical instruments, especially the littlest ones.
Don’t Forget About Hip-Hop Dance Class
Dance uplifts, unites, and empowers children. And we love bringing this program into schools for how much joy it gives our students. Hip-hop is an exciting way to help kids move their bodies, work on balance and coordination, and develop confidence and social skills. Energetic and contemporary beats ensure kids stay on their feet while burning off their restless energy from the day. And the beauty of this class is that all kids need to bring is themselves!
