Kindermusik provides the time and tools to help bring the
power of music into your home and your child's life forever.  In
every class, you'll witness your child's developmental evolution
in language skills, literacy, listening, problem solving, social
skills, self-esteem, and musicality. And it happens within a
nurturing environment-full of energy, imagination, music,
dancing, and playful delight.  The instructor will lead a  group of
parents and their children through joyful activities, using music
and movement. Parents learn more about their child's unique
developmental process, and the shared learning experience
creates a unique bond as the child associates learning with fun,
musical play.    The learning process continues at home, guided
by specially designed books, CDs, and games. Kindermusik is
much more than a weekly class. And your At Home materials
you receive are just the tools you need to continue that one-of-
a-kind experience together as a family. While I plant the seeds
of learning through music in the classroom, you will use the At
Home materials at home to cultivate lifelong learning.  Enjoy

Kindermusik encourages your child to uncover an engaging
musical world while building confidence, self-control and
communications skills. Singing, imitating sounds, rhyming and
object identification foster language skills. Creative movement
to various musical “moods” develops a sense of balance, timing
and spatial awareness. Listening and turn-taking encourage
blossoming social skills.   Along with an accompanying parent
or caregiver, children meet weekly for a 45-minute class and
enjoy singing, moving, listening and interacting socially, and
playing simple instruments. Exploration Time encourages a
child's discovery of specially designed instruments, textures,
sounds and movements; language skills are fostered with
singing, sound imitation, and vocal play; Music & Movement
