Through the sheer joy of music and movement, Kindermusik® encourages early learning and creativity in children. It allows children to explore the world in a secure, stimulating environment, filling them with a sense of curiosity and the delight of self-expression. Classes allow the child to learn and develop at his own pace. The goal isn't necessarily to make your child a musician, but to make your child more eager to learn, more awake and wholly alive in the world. A rich assortment of musical activities are designed to promote language development, symbolic thinking, coordination, and social interactions, while cultivating your child's imagination. The Kindermusik® CurriculumKindermusik® provides a four-stage curriculum carefully designed to reflect and match your child's age and developmental level. There are no prerequisites since each stage provides unique learning opportunities.
Ages: Newborn - 1 ½ years Kindermusik Village™ provides the learning your child will love from the first days of life. You, the parent, lead him on an exploration of objects and instruments, vocal play, singing, creative movement and a colorful literature component. In this 50 minute a week class are multi-level activities that you adapt to your child as he grows from lap baby to crawler to walker! Foundations of Learning insights are shared through the lessons to show how various activities foster brain development. All Village classes are by 15 week semesters. Materials: 2 Quality CD's, 2 instruments, 2
baby books, art banners and 2 carry bags.
Ages: 1 ½ - 3 years Our Time is a 50 minute a week class for the child and parent or caregiver. The child is growing in confidence, curiosity, self-control, and communication skills through such musical activities as singing, chanting, moving, listening, and playing simple instruments. Social skills begin to bloom as they learn about taking turns and relating to others in the class. The child has the freedom to try new experiences while still secure in your presence. As a Kindermusik® brochure so aptly states, "Our Time provides the safety of training wheels for the bicycle of pre-school!" Our Time classes are in 15- week semesters. There are 4 non-sequential semesters. Materials: 2 CD's, 2 Music and Movement Books, a Home
Activity Book, and a specially designed instrument.
Ages: 3 - 5 years Kindermusik Imagine That® is a 50 minute class, once a week for a 15 semester. To foster his growing independence the child now attends the first 30 minutes and is joined by the parent for the last 15 minutes. At 3 years of age, children move from being receptive to being more expressive in their learning. In this age range the child's imagination and creativity are at their peak. Kindermusik® classes encourage the storyteller in the child by imaginative play experiences. Fine motor development is aided by instrument play. Vocal exploration brings out the singing voice and creative movement heightens coordination in the young artist. Listening activities help in building a discriminating ear while the small - group interactions build social skills. There are 4 non - sequential semesters. Materials: Double CD, 2 Children's Books, Play Set,
Family Activity Book, Child's Instrument, and Carry Bag.
Ages: 4 ½ - 7 years Kindermusik for the Young Child® provides 4 sequential semesters (2 years) of activity to broaden and deepen your child's music experience.

family songbook, a games bag, professionally recorded music on CD, a
musical instrument and a carry bag. (Materials vary based on semester)
