Kindermusik is the single best
choice for your child.
Kindermusik ® is a developmental
music program which through joyful music-making between the parent,
child and teacher seeks to promote cognitive, physical, language,
social, emotional and musical development in young children. Each
class, geared toward your child's developmental
stage, is taught by a trained and licensed Kindermusik teacher
who is passionate about transforming the lives of children through
musical learning. |

Children sing, play instruments, dance, explore
literature and learn to listen in an active, intent way. Musical
goals range from developing a steady beat at 18 months to learning
to read music at five years-old. The program is based on the beliefs
that all children are musical and that the parent is the child's
most important teacher.

Why is music vital to a young
child's development?
Before your child learns the ABC's and 1-2-3's,
early exposure to music is critical to your child's total development
and can make a significant impact on lifelong learning. Research
shows us that music helps build children's self-confidence,
enhances complex reasoning and focuses listening skills. It helps
children express their creativity and lays a foundation for lifelong
musical enjoyment and appreciation. |

Early childhood
specialists and educators suggest that toddlers and preschoolers
benefit from daily, informal musical and physical activities with
nursery rhymes, lullabies, patty-cake and singing in the home. Well-known
research by Dr. Frances Rauscher and Dr. Gordon Shaw shows that
young children who participate in musical activities develop a measurable
improvement in the type of intelligence needed for high-level math,
science and spatial reasoning. |

Why should I choose a Kindermusik program
for my child?
For over 20 years Kindermusik has been
and still is the world's most respected name in musical learning
for young children. Every aspect of the Kindermusik program is
grounded in these core beliefs: 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 based
on research, music nurtures a child's cognitive, emotional, social,
language and physical development.
From birth through eight years of age, with
the caring guidance of a trained and licensed Kindermusik educator,
your child can grow with Kindermusik without pressure to perform,
only encouragement to explore, express and discover. You'll see
a developmental evolution in language skills, literacy, listening,
problem solving, coordination, social skills, self-esteem and
musicality!

Because of its belief that
the home is where learning takes root and grows, Kindermusik classes
include home activity books and CD recordings. Suggested activities
might be as simple as asking the child to listen for loud and quiet
sounds in the kitchen. Exposing children to strings, opera, jazz
or choir recordings not only challenges their attention span but
lays the foundation for an appreciation of those music genres later
in life. |
