Join us for a fun and lively drum circle with Otha Day! From the core belief that rhythm can build community, promote well-being and healing, and create joy, Otha supports participants as they learn about the importance of rhythm in all aspects of life while taking part in activities and experiences, showing them that their "heartbeat and breath are the rhythms of the soul and the pathways of connection to everyone"

Otha Day has taught in the faculties of several schools in New England. He has taught college courses on Rhythm-Based Creativity and Communication, Music of the Harlem Renaissance, General Music Theory, and Jazz History. In addition, he has given many concerts as both a solo and ensemble pianist and currently teaches classical and jazz piano.

Caregivers are welcome (but not required) to accompany their child, however, they are expected to be active participants in the program as well.

If your child becomes unable to attend this program, please notify the library as soon as possible. Repeated 'no-shows' without notification may prohibit your child from registering for future programs.

2024 Eric Jordan Moskow Memorial Program is made possible thanks to the generosity of Richard and Shirley Moskow who established The Eric Jordan Moskow Memorial Fund in 2016. The Fund celebrates the life of the Moskow’s son Eric, who, as a young student at the Munroe School and in their neighborhood on Slocum Road, met the world with an open-hearted spirit, love of learning, and transcendent gift for friendship. The Fund supports library programs for young children that promote the values of peace and friendship, and touch on literature, the performing arts, social studies, math, engineering, science, and disciplines yet to be discovered.
