It's true that research shows music helps children become better learners, and that even a newborn emotionally responds to music. However, all the research in the world can't accurately capture the look of pure delight in your child's eyes when she experiences the sights and sounds of Kindermusik, both in the classroom and at home. |
|
Throughout the Kindermusik experience, we will guide you and your child through every musical and developmental milestone and help you understand what is happening all along the way. Each semester, a new set of At Home Materials brings the experience out of the classroom and into your every day routines and rituals. |

Your child is immersed in an atmosphere of playing, singing and dancing. We use music as a means of learning: we get their feet tapping and their wheels turning. You can connect with other parents and learn how music helps make parenting easier. Kindermusik has the best value per class in music and movement classes for newborn to seven years old. |

Parents were asked what their family enjoyed the most about their Kindermusik experience. Here's what they had to say: "My son Joseph and I had so much fun! It was such a great thing to be able to sing and dance with my Joseph. It was a very relaxed atmosphere! My son walks all over the place and it is hard to get him to stay still without having him getting upset. Talita was wonderful. She just kept on with the class and allowed Joseph to spread his wings. It was a fabulous experience, especially if your child loves music. Thank you Talita! " Kendra S. "We enjoyed the time together and all the music and instruments. My son LOVED going to class. I could tell how much fun he had there." Erin C. "The moves and games that go with each different songs. [My twin daughters] really love doing what they learn in class at home and that gives us some great time together during our normal daily life. And they really love the songs, because we have to listen to the Kindermusik songs practically all day." Beatrix M. "We have had so much fun learning new things and making new friends while singing great songs! It's a wonderful Saturday morning ritual for our family!" Jennifer F. "[T]he consistency in the routine, very friendly and knowledgeable instructor (who is wonderful w/ the kids and very flexible), new ideas of how to integrate music in my son's life." Anu V. |

Kindermusik Village is designed for children newborn to 18 months
of age. Through a unique blend of vocal play, creative movement,
object and instruments exploration, and colorful literature, Village
provides the perfect environment for bonding between
parent/caregiver and baby while stimulating his/her growth and
development. Village incorporates the most current research on early
childhood development and the benefits of early musical experiences.
Family involvement in your child's learning is a fundamental
cornerstone of the Kindermusik philosophy because we believe the
parent is the child's most important teacher and the home is the most
important place for a child's to learn. While we plant the seeds of learning through music in the classroom, you will use the high quality At Home materials to cultivate lifelong learning. At Home materials include Kindermusik Foundations of Learning, insights that educate parents about their babies' unique development. A different set of materials for each session includes an instrument, an illustrated nursery-rhyme board book, an art banner and a CD of the songs from class. |

Kindermusik Our Time is designed for children 18 months to 3 years
of age. It encourages children to be creative, to initiate their own ideas
and to respond in their own ways, while parents' active participation gives them
the security they 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. You and your toddler will delight together in learning games from the home activity book, playing with the age-appropriate instrument, reading two illustrated story books, and listening to the double-CD set with more than 90 minutes of music. |

Kindermusik Family Time is designed for families with
multiple children ages newborn to seven years old. A one-room-schoolhouse
approach to music. With older children ready to show the little ones how
it's done and the younger ones eager to learn, Family Time becomes a multi-layered
learning environment. Your children will listen to instruments and to each other,
learn from their peers and older children, and enjoy music and movement with hoops,
scarves and tumble-around play. Story time and family jams, puppet play and happy
singing-all the Family Time activities encourage discovery and exploration and foster
sharing and social skills too. In this special place for musical, social and emotional
learning, your children will strengthen their ties with each other and with you,
and they'll start developing the skills they'll need in school and on the neighborhood
playground. Bring the learning experience home with an activity guide, a hand puppet and a finger puppet, two instruments, two music CDs packed with songs from class, and two beautiful story books. |

Cock-a-doodle-MOO! explores a farm theme through music, motion and multi-sensory activities. Baby will enjoy the movement of a “hayride,” and experience vocal play by using farm animal sounds.
DewDrops takes Baby into a colorful flower garden. See dew drops glistening in the morning sun and feel the cool breeze blow in this extraordinary, multi-sensory experience!
Here, There, Everwhere The five sub-themes center around different family outings: a visit with a friend, an outing at the park, a trip to the city, an afternoon at the aquarium, and a day on the farm. This unit's stories are Flip-Flap, Sugar Snap! and Jingle-Jangle Jambourine. You'll explore different ways to move like animals in Flip-Flap, Sugar Snap!, and in Jingle-Jangle Jambourine you'll follow a girl who has lost her jambourine during the day's outings (to the very same places visited in the curriculum—what a coincidence!) as she looks for it, finding at home at the end of the story.
