Can’t be beat

Shuffle your feet and bop to the beat with renowned Broadway and international percussionist Jon Berger this month.

At a percussion workshop, offered twice this month at branches of the New York Public Library, Berger will teach adults and kids how to play different types of drums and explore rhythm and movement.

By the end of the workshop participants will know how to use music to create different moods, add humor and express themselves by creating movement on stage. Soon, your kid will be dancing to the beat of his own drum — literally!

The Rhythm and Sound Workshop at the Spuyten Duyvil Library [650 W. 235th Street, (212) 796-1202], Jan. 11 at 3:30 pm, and at the Tremont Library [1866 Washington Ave. between E. Tremont Avenue and E. 176th Street; (718) 299-5177], Jan. 20 at 5 pm. Free. For info, visit www.nypl.org.
