Find your voice. Feel the rhythm!
Learn basic percussion instruments in a group lesson format of up to 8-10 participants.
Instructors will lead music games and excercises that work on a variety of rhythms.
This program is offered in partnership with the Vancouver Academy of Music (3-6y age group) and Sarah McLachlan School of Music (7-12y).
Both programs are taught by instructors from our program partners and supported by CAN staff and volunteers.*
*The 3-6y program includes parent/caregiver participation.
Support Provided
Participants receive individualized support from trained staff and dedicated volunteers:
- CAN Onsite Supervisor: Ensures the success of the program as a whole
- Program Partner Instructors: Delivers curriculum and provides group instruction (Vancouver Academy of Music for 3-6y and Sarah MCLachlan School of Music for 7-12y)
- CAN Support Workers: Individualize and adapt instruction to each participant
- CAN Program Assistants & Volunteers: Additional program support
Our goal is to provide as much support (1:1 or more) or as little support (to foster independence), as needed.*
*For our younger age group (3-6y), sessions include parent/caregiver participation.
We strive to meet the needs of each participant through parent/caregiver collaboration.
Parents and caregivers can provide basic information about their child’s support needs and abilities through their CAN account.
During the season, don’t hesitate to speak with coaches and on-site staff about support strategies that work for your child (e.g., visual schedules, first-then boards, token systems, social stories, etc).
