KINDERMUSIK - WHERE LITTLE MIRACLES ARE PUT TO MUSIC!

Kindermusik is an early childhood music and movement program based on the beliefs that every child is musical, every parent is the child’s most important teacher, the home is the most important place for learning to take root and grow, and that based on research, music nurtures a child’s cognitive, emotional, social, language and physical development.

This unique music and movement program introduces children to the joy and wonder of making and feeling music. Each Kindermusik class offers you and your child a delightful experience of learning, bonding and oodles of fun! Every child will enjoy and grow with Kindermusik because the emphasis is on the process, not the performance, encouraging children to explore, express and discover. Through Kindermusik, you’ll see a developmental evolution in language skills, literacy, listening, social skills, problem solving, self-esteem and musicality!

With every Kindermusik program, your Kindermusik At Home materials include the highest quality music recordings on CD - a diversity of vocal and instrumental arrangements your whole family will enjoy. While materials vary with each program, many include creative activities, children's literature from the Kindermusik Library, along with specially designed instruments to complement the music and extend your child's learning into your home. 

Education takes place right in the classroom with the inclusion of Kindermusik Foundations of Learning™. Kindermusik Foundations of Learning are scientific explanations of how Kindermusik enhances the natural growth systems of the young mind and body. You'll learn how music contributes to enhanced language development, preparation for reading, inhibitory control, attention, phonological awareness, and more.

Kindermusik Foundations of Learning™:
In Village you'll learn how music and movement stimulate development in every part of your baby's brain.

A few examples of how Foundations of Learning are incorporated in class:

The high and low pitches we use in Village class are basic elements in music and are also basic to language acquisition and development of the speaking voice. Exposure to high sounds play an important role in maintaining alertness and energy required for baby's learning.

We spend time in Village using touch in different ways with different parts of the body. Babies learn dimension, texture, line and even color through touch and also the sense of "this is me" and "this is something else." Intentional touch strengthens babies' ability to relax while relieving digestive problems or fussiness.

When we're talking and making sounds with our babies in Village class, we pause and give them a chance to respond. This helps them to learn "turn taking" which is fundamental to conversation. Actual words aren't important, but vocal inflection demonstrates natural conversation along with eye contact that encourages response.
