African Drumming:
It takes a village! the magic of homeschooling is being able to live this motto each day and the same is true for our African Drumming classes. In this class, your child will do more than make music—they’ll gain confidence, learn to collaborate, and celebrate achievements with their peers.
Using drumming techniques and the rich rhythms of West African culture, students will work together on 2-3 ensemble pieces featuring djembe, dunun, bells, shakers, and even voice. Along the way, they'll learn to problem-solve, communicate, and shine as part of a team.
Best of all? They’ll showcase their hard work with a lively performance for parents and friends at the end of the session. This multi-age class is the perfect chance for your kids to grow at their own pace
​
Drama and Literacy (ages 5-9):
Step into the world of storytelling and imagination. Through drama games, acting, and creative activities, your child will build literacy skills like reading, writing, and communication while having a blast.
From bringing stories to life on "stage" to creating their own characters and adventures, this class inspires confidence, teamwork, and a love for learning. Perfect for young learners who love to move, create, and explore!
​
Voice Acting (ages 10+):
Step into the exciting world of voice acting! In this hands-on class, teens will learn how to use their voice to bring characters, stories, and scripts to life. Whether it’s animation, video games, commercials, or audiobooks, students will explore techniques like vocal control, expressive delivery, and character creation.
With fun exercises, real scripts, and opportunities to record their work, this class builds confidence, creativity, and communication skills.
​
Visual Art:
In this playful and creative class, students will explore self-expression, present-moment awareness, and their imagination through engaging art and mindfulness activities. The curriculum includes movement, abstract coloring projects, yoga, and simple breathing exercises. Each session encourages creativity, focus, and a sense of calm in a welcoming environment.
