Buckethead KIDZ

WQLN Buckethead KIDZ is a music program designed to introduce fifth-grade students to the art of drumming, various rhythms, and how they work together.

About WQLN Buckethead KIDZ
Music is changing the world for kids in our community through the WQLN PBS Buckethead KIDZ program! Each year, hundreds of fifth-grade students across our region receive weeks of instruction in bucket drumming.

The classes are led by their school's music teacher where they learn to read notes and create rhythmic grooves. At the end of the school year, hundreds of fifth graders are invited to play in the backyard of WQLN PBS to jam with local musician, Jim Dowds.

2024 Participating Schools: Asbury Elementary School, Lincoln Elementary School, Perry Elementary School, Robison Elementary School, and Union City Elementary School
