Welcome to the class where music moves your feet and your soul! Lola’s Rhythm & Blues is a joyful blend of singing, rhythm games, percussion instruments, and movement activities designed to get young children grooving and learning. Each week features a new musical theme—from call-and-response Afro-Caribbean chants to the bluesy beat of Memphis-style storytelling. Children will sing their names, dance with scarves, explore emotions through song, and even try their hands at rhythm sticks and drums. It's not just about making music—it's about building confidence, listening skills, and a love for creative expression. This class is a celebration in every sense, and no prior musical experience is required—just a willingness to jam!
