You’re here because you love your child... You want to give them the best possible beginning in the world... And you’d love to know what’s going on inside that wonderful little mind... You came to the right place! Kindermusik is a classroom learning experience. We teach children music so they can become better learners. It's not about making little Mozarts. It's about developing skills in the whole child—ages newborn to 7 years—cognitive, physical, social, emotional, language and musical. For more than 25 years, we have believed music is the best conductor for learning. Today music and the mind research is known as the "most rapidly developing field of human study," according to recent reports from the Royal Institute of Great Britain, home to 14 Nobel Prize scientists   What will we do in class and why? Singing fosters the development of your child’s most important instrument through vocal exploration, songs, and chants Moving develops body awareness, coordination, and spatial relationships through movement, creative movement, and simple dances. Playing introduces a variety of musical timbres with percussion instruments, rhythm sticks, jingle bells, drums, resonator boars, and simple instruments your child creates at home. Older students learn to play glockenspiels, dulcimers and recorders. Creating stimulates your child’s imagination and encourages new exploration with sound and movement. Patterning boosts your child’s ability to think musically through the integration of basic rhythmic and tonal language. Listening cultivates your child’s heightened attentiveness to sound discrimination. Exploring timbre, dynamics, tempo and pitch lays the foundation for conceptualization of the elements of music.
