WHY SING ?
Quite simply, children need music to fully develop,
- These days children and parents have fewer opportunities to sing.
- By encouraging adults to sing with their children every day, we are helping
parents build relationships and a love of language and learning

ABOUT RHYTHM N RHYME
We primarily target to 2 age groups
Bunnies : 2 years – 4 yearsBugs : 6 months – 2 years
We know that repetition of music and rhymes in a beat with predictable pattern stimulates eagerness to learn.
Rhythm n Rhyme is the only parent / child music and movement program in Bangalore since a decade,
promoting coordination, balance, rhythm and self-esteem through music and learning. We have had the
privilege of sharing music with over 4000 infants and toddlers over the past 12 years.
OUR CLASSES HELP DEVELOP
COMMUNICATIONAL TOOL
Strangers become friends when we enjoy the same kind of music.
Kids too find it easier to make friends and feel accepted when a similar
song or rhyme is played that is known to both.
SOCIALIZING
Music teaches cooperation, following directions and developing social
relationships.
Ways and techniques to get along with other people.
TRANSITION
Singing a song helps kids leave one activity behind and go on to
another.
CONFIDENCE
Studies have proven: children express emotions like happiness,
sadness, loneliness, excitement, or being scared by singing or body
movements.
ACTIVE PARTICIPATION
Active participation in music (singing) increases retention, builds memory, and
actually helps grow the brain in young children! Because children naturally love
to sing, there is no “teaching,” just doing! An action-song provides a child the
opportunity to integrate rhythm, body percussion and vocalization.

ABOUT THE TRAINER
When we see a void in the market some of us just talk about it, some of us
wish someone else did something about it and some of us believe they can do
something about it. This is exactly why Ms Viv started Rhythm n Rhyme.
Ms Viv was introduced to the concept of Music and Movement when she lives
in Houston TX until April 2010. She had the opportunity to take both her
children to Music and Movement classes that we’re fun, interactive and
stimulating.
The lack of a Music and Movement program in a buzzing metropolitan city like
Bangalore was unacceptable and that is how Ms Viv began her journey. Having
volunteered as an Music and Movement instructor with a couple of programs
Ms Viv was well equipped with techniques, music and confidence to establish
the only Music and Movement program in Aug 2010.
Ms Viv.
An energetic lady, who
loves music and kids
