20 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
In this one-time class, students can clap, sing or drum along with pencils to learn music rhythms with our favorite Wild Animals and Pets. We will learn basic music rhythms of quarter and eighth notes, drumming with pencils on any items you have at home like an upside down bucket, or empty coffee or oatmeal container. Each student will receive their own set of Pets and Wild Animal music flashcards to continue the fun after our rhythm lesson. We will learn how to hold the drumsticks and how to make loud and soft sounds and the music language for these terms. No prior musical knowledge is needed! Mrs. Judy is a fun and easygoing teacher with over 20 years experience giving music lessons!

Supply List
Any empty container like a plastic coffee can, oatmeal container or real or toy drum works for this class-sometimes I even use my Kleenex box turned upside down! For drumsticks anything similar size like two pencils work well!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Wichita State University
Hi! I'm "ViolinJudy," Mrs. Judy Naillon, and I LOVE TEACHING MUSIC! I'm a Professional Violinist and have played with many ensembles, including the Wichita Symphony for over 20 years. I'm a Piano and Violin Teacher with 25 + years experience teaching both in person and virtually! In my free time I write Violin music books, and biographies of composers for kids in my "Very Interesting Life of" series which are available on Amazon.
I have a private teaching studio with MANY Violin, Piano, and Ukulele students so I have limited availability, if you message me I go through my waiting list each week trying to connect learners with any spots that have opened up! I am a master teacher, and have had the amazing opportunity to also work for Alfred's Music Publishers, one of the largest music publishers in the world.
I enjoy teaching beginners through advanced music students with my professional studio setup, and am experienced in teaching ages 3 through adult students. I use a combination of tried and true teaching methods like Suzuki, along with note reading skill building to help my students learn to play music they love. I always have a quick music theory game to engage my music students. My virtual students also benefit from the many educational videos I post for them to my YouTube channel.
I love keeping up with current events and usually read 2-3 newspapers every day from around the world. I enjoy sharing some of these stories in my "breakfast club" weekday morning meet-up and genuinely love getting to know my students. My guilty pleasures are watching til-tok videos and enjoying good chocolate. I love to play the Spelling Bee game from The New York Times Crossword App and try to get to genius every day! I also used to work for our local NPR station and love public radio!
I am blessed to have a wonderful husband, a cute, well behaved mini golden doodle puppy and an amazing daughter who plays many musical instruments and has learned French from Outschool!
