Kindermusik 2010 - 2011 School Term
Kindermusik is a music and movement program for children!  The Kindermusik experience for families includes the enjoyment of making music while listening, moving, vocalizing, playing together and experiencing basic music concepts.  Classes are age and developmentally appropriate and promote language development, symbolic thinking, motor skills and social interaction.  In addition, Kindermusik classes prepare children for instrumental lessons, singing in a choir or participating in an ensemble while encouraging and appreciation of music for a lifetime!  Weekly home materials are a part of all Kindermusik curricula and reinforce the learning experience between classes.
Benefits of Kindermusik          
 
Kindermusik promotes language development, symbolic thinking, coordination, and social interaction while awakening the child’s imagination.
 
Kindermusik allows the child to grow without pressure to perform and provides the encouragement to explore, express, and discover.
 
Parents notice a developmental evolution in language skills, emerging literacy, listening, problem solving, social skills, self-esteem, and musicality.
 
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.
