Mika first began teaching music and drumming with children in 1981 while studying early childhood education at Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz. Since then he has taught thousands of classes at a variety of schools and Summer camps. He is experienced in working with youth from many different age groups, cultural and economic backgrounds.

- Family nights
- Special events
- After school programs
- Teacher trainings
- Libraries
When children play drums in a group, they are learning much more than just how to play an instrument. They are also learning:
- Mathematics, by identifying and experiencing sequences of numbers.
- To cooperate and control their excitement.
- Exposure to music of other cultures.
- To concentrate while integrating structure and creativity.
- To express their feelings in a safe, positive way.
- To coordinate auditory, visual and kinesthetic information.
- A great way to have fun!
"Mika Scott performed at the Mill Valley Library Children's End-of-Summer Party and was a huge hit with the kids and parents. He had a steady group of kids of all ages who all got the opportunity to play their own drums. Kids loved the interactive program, and I would have Mika back in a second" -Jessica Ryan, Senior Children's Librarian, Mill Valley Public Library
