Join us for the Bongos Song Collection Online this Fall!

Fall Classes begin Monday, August 31st.

We’re online and outdoor!!

ONLINE: We’ll bring you our beloved, music education program right to your living room with weekly interactive Zoom classes and  live-stream Facebook events, parent education, and, of course, the Bongos song collection download code and tangible materials – Bongos Songbook and CD! Rhythm Kids will explore the Kangaroo song collection this fall. 

OUTDOOR: Outdoor classes meet at Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church, 17150 Maumee Ave, GP, 48236

In case of inclement weather (rain, low temps, wind) class will be moved to Zoom at the same time. We will not hold outdoor makeup classes.  All outdoor participants will be required to follow our social distancing guidelines: Please wear a mask while entering the garden for ages 3 and up. Masks are not required once you sit down in your spot. Family “fishbowl” areas will be marked and measured ahead of time. If you are leaving your “fish bowl” (aka blanket) we ask that you wear your mask. Families will bring their own instruments to class, with a few provided by the teacher and cleaned after use.

About Bongos:

Fall into step this fall with the rhythms of our Bongos Song Collection grooving to the Latin beat of Palo Palo, catching the jazzy rhythms of Hey Diddle Diddle, undulating to the blues of City Blues, and swinging with the joyous sway of Funga Alafia! Raise your voices in celebration of our unbreakable bonds as a community of families who love making Music Together with their little ones and their friends old and new!

Rhythm Kids Families, we will explore the Kangaroo Collection!

The Kangaroo Collection features drumming patterns inspired by the Australian didgeridoo. We’ll learn a traditional song and “sit-down dance” from the Torres Strait Islanders called “Taba Naba”, and with “Hand in Hand” we’ll explore body percussion and sing a three-part round. We’ll jam and solo-sing to the reggae beat of “Every Day’s a Good Day” and, of course, have lots of fun moving like “Krazy Kangarooz!” All 22 songs in this collection have been chosen and arranged specifically to support each student’s music development.
