About Rhythm & Rhyme

ChiME Time Rhythm & Rhyme engages younger students through songs, games, dances, and musical movement activities. This program focuses on developing communication, self-expression, self-confidence, and social engagement through music. Students will learn, explore, and create music in a student-centered, collaborative environment led by a ChiME teaching artist. For schools where students receive classroom music instruction during the school day, ChiME Time Rhythm & Rhyme creates opportunities for a deeper level of engagement and learning.
