BONK! DRUM PROGRAM FOR KIDS












BONK! Expressive Drum and Percussion Workshop for kids will be held at the Clarence Dillon Public Library on Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 1:00 pm.  Kids 4-10 have fun 'EXPRESSING' themselves with this 1 hour interactive program as they are introduced to interesting drums and percussive instruments from around the world. The kids will learn basic hand drum and percussion techniques, 'talk' to one another using drums and make their own rhythms as they sharpen their listening skills and learn about musical dynamics. Using some exotic instruments, the group will even create the sounds of their own rainforest. 

The program will be held in the downstairs meeting rooms of the library.  Please register by calling the children’s department at 908-234-2325 ext. 107 or by email at ref@dillonlibrary.org.  Any questions can be directed to Helen Petersen, Children’s Librarian at hpetersen@dillonlibrary.org.
