Overview
The child explores a variety of rhythm instruments (shakers, drums, bells, rhythm sticks) to keep a steady beat, copy patterns, or accompany songs. Emphasis is on listening, coordination, and expressive playing rather than formal notation. This develops auditory discrimination, gross and fine motor control, and joy in music making.
