Kids' Interactive Drumming Session™
The Drum Cafe's Kids' Interactive Drumming Session (K.I.D.S.™) is a captivating learning experience, designed specifically for children from kindergarten through 7th grade. The program expertly weaves elements of geography, social studies, language arts, and mathematics together with an engaging and interactive performance that is nothing less than thrilling. And, everybody gets a drum! Yes, every child gets a drum! Whether you have 20 or 700 young people, we provide a drum for each child, which lends to the power of the kinesthetic learning experience.
Children learn about (and play) the Djembe Drum from West Africa, while understanding what's needed to create a community rhythm in cooperation with each other. In fact, the program speaks directly to the power of listening, and of demonstrating respect through this cooperative effort. Along with relevant, academic curriculum learning, the K.I.D.S. ™ program includes the most important ingredient in all successful children's experiences: FUN! Time and again, teachers and administrators compliment the program, noting how amazed they were to see the children focused for the entire program.

"Our kids and teachers loved it! Many teachers said it was the best TAKS pep rally we’ve ever had!!! I will definitely keep you in mind as we start planning our August staff development. I know the rest of the staff would love your program. Thank you for thinking of our kids. We need all the positive vibes we can get. Our kids have very difficult home lives and on testing days, it’s a true challenge for many of them."
