    The Groove Lab

    Ellington Studios, 51 S Raleigh St, Angier · verified Aug 7
    See details

    The Groove Lab is an upbeat music class tailored for elementary-aged kids who are ready for a bigger challenge. Instead of simply singing, participants build a full musical experience through movement, instruments, and teamwork. Children drum with basketballs to develop rhythm, coordination, and group awareness. They learn ukulele basics with real chords, accurate finger placement, steady strumming, and songs they can play from start to finish. Boomwhackers turn the room into a fast-paced, collaborative jam that makes music social and exciting. Along the way, students grow their theory skills with advanced beat reading and notation so they can read rhythms with confidence. This program is designed for school-age learners who want an energetic, hands-on approach to music. Enrollment is open all year, and monthly tuition is $60. A free trial class is available so families can see the class in action before committing. Space is limited because so many instruments are used during each session, which helps ensure every child gets a turn leading the drumline or strumming a ukulele.
