Celebrate Hop-Hop-History Month! Join us for a fun and easy rhyming game.
In honor of Hip-Hop History Month in November, tweens are encouraged to join us for a drop-in session to learn the fundamentals of freestyle rap through video. The "Freestyle Rap Basics: End Rhyme Game" is an instructor-led video featuring eight straightforward lessons. Children will enjoy discovering rhymes while also expanding their vocabulary.
This drop-in event will be held in the Tween Gaming Room at the Main Library. For children ages 8 -12.
The Freestyle Rap Basic: End Rhyme Game video is provided by Little Kids Rock, a nonprofit organization that is determined to build a world, through music, where kids can lead creative, rich, purposeful lives.
They are dedicated to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to unlock his or her inner music-maker. They are currently known as Music Will. For more information, visit musicwill.org
