With over 30 years experience in developing early learning curricula and products, Kindermusik is the original and most trusted name in music and movement classes with curricula based on early development principles defined by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

You’ll witness firsthand how your child discovers, learns and develops with each term providing a new set of materials that you can use at home too. Each class features a different theme and experience but all with the same purpose of providing a fun atmosphere for your and your child to learn and grow together.

“Teaching children through Kindermusik has allowed me to experience the joy of watching children learn and grow through music. Kindermusik creates a warm, creative learning environment for both parents and children.” -- Kindermusik Instructor Ø Kindermusik promotes language development, symbolic thinking, coordination, and social interaction while awakening the child's imagination. Ø Kindermusik allows the child to grow without pressure to perform and provides the encouragement to explore, express, and discover. Ø Parents notice a developmental evolution in language skills, emerging literacy, listening, problem solving, social skills, self-esteem, and musicality. Ø Research indicates that music nurtures a child's cognitive, emotional, social, language, and physical development. From birth through seven years of age your child can grow with Kindermusik without pressure to perform. Ø If you're familiar with music education pioneers such as Orff, Kodaly, and Suzuki, you'll find their influence woven throughout Kindermusik. Ø In class, you'll play, listen, sing (encouraged, but optional!), move, dance, and giggle with your child. It's fun. Lots of fun. But the best part – your child will be learning and developing skills along the way. Each of our activities is designed to stimulate your child's brain, strengthen developing neurons, build gross and fine motor skills, enhance social-emotional development, and much more.

| Kindermusik Village: A Bonding Experience
Age Range: Newborn to 18 months Class Length: 0-45 minutes.
Who knew that you would find gazing into your baby’s eyes the most exciting part of your day? In Kindermusik, we understand how precious this time is with your little one. That’s why we created Village. In a Kindermusik Village class, we take those special bonding moments between you and your baby and add in a unique blend of musical learning activities that stimulate and engage all of the senses. Your educator will teach you how to encourage your baby’s learning through vocal play, object exploration, instruments, and creative movement.
Kindermusik Our Time: On the Go!
Age Range: 18 months to 3 years Class Length: 45 minutes
For your toddler, every day brings new discoveries and opportunities to explore the world around him. Despite your toddler’s seeming independence, he still longs for the safety and security of parental closeness. During this time, your toddler still relishes the comfort of the familiar while also seeking the challenge of something new. Kindermusik Our Time encourages her to be creative, to initiate her own ideas and to respond in her own ways, while your active participation gives her the security she needs. As you play instruments, sing, move, and explore, you’ll uncover an engaging musical world while building your child’s confidence, self-control and communications skills.

Kindermusik Village:
What you’ll experience in class:
Ø Variety of music. Musical diversity builds strong neural networks in a baby’s forming mind, which is why each Kindermusik semester contains an array of styles, sounds, and genres. Ø Instrument play. Age-appropriate experiences with child-safe instruments enhances a sense of rhythm and steady beat, develops a keen awareness of the distinguishing qualities of sound, and encourages spontaneity and creativity. Ø Dance. A classroom full of baby and adult pairs dancing together helps a little body develop the muscle strength needed to crawl and walk and helps a little heart to fall in love with the sheer joy of responding to music. Ø Together time. A Kindermusik class is truly the essence of “quality time,” offering you a place to create special memories with your child, gain new insights into your child’s development, and nurture your child’s natural love of music. Ø Learning continues at home. With the home materials, the learning continues at home with your child’s best teacher—you!
Kindermusik Our Time:
What you’ll experience in class:
Ø Instrument exploration and ensemble skill development. Your child will explore the physical characteristics and sounds of age-appropriate instruments which will eventually lead her to discover her potential for beat, rhythm, and melodic ensemble playing. Ø Vocal play. Through vocal play, toddlers learn to form vowels and consonants, say words and phrases, and imitate rhythm and vocal inflection. In Kindermusik Our Time, vocal play is presented within the context of songs, chants, and activities done in class. Ø Exploration Time. Your child will love discovering specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements. Ø Story time and early literacy. Listening to stories enhances language and speech development and fosters awareness of sounds, teaches use of language, and sends the message that words and symbols have meaning. The same experiences that help your child learn to read a book also help her learn to read music. Ø Movement Activities. Each class provides various opportunities for movement such as synchronized movement, group dances and circle games, and even expressive movement. Ø Together Time. Kindermusik is the essence of quality time, allowing you to make the most of the fleeting toddler years and giving you the time and the tools to make music and memories together in class and at home. |
