 Kindermusik…an every day adventure!

 

The time is etched on your calendar and in your child’s mind.  Time for Kindermusik class.  Together you anticipate the day…the moment of the week when you return to class and begin making new musical memories.  If only every day could be so eagerly awaited by you and your child.  With Kindermusik, it can.

 

One of the single biggest factors that differentiate Kindermusik from other early childhood programs is that Kindermusik can – and does – last all week long.  And our At Home materials make it easy for you to extend the Kindermusik experience at home, in the car, or wherever you go.

 

When combined with a weekly class, a licensed and caring educator, and your own parental involvement, your At Home materials provide a powerful way for nurturing your child’s social, emotional, cognitive, physical and musical development – all while providing a natural love of learning through music.

 

At Kindermusik, we believe you are your child’s first and best teacher.  And by taking a few minutes each day to share with your child some of the exceptional learning tools included in your At Home materials, you’ll help nurture your child’s development and absolutely love every minute doing it – together!

 

Kindermusik provides the finest musical learning available to you.  We’ve incorporated the latest research from early childhood music and education experts.  We’ve utilized world class singers, musicians, writers and illustrators.  We’ve searched the globe for specially designed instruments.

 

See how you can use your At Home materials to increase the overall success and enjoyment you and your child receive from the Kindermusik experience:

·         Repetition of songs and activities first learned in class helps create “favorites” as the songs become more familiar.  Watch your child’s own storytelling skills grow while the continuity helps strengthen your child’s listening, vocal and movement development.

·         Playing with your home instrument – when linked to playing along with the home CD – solidifies concepts such as beat competency…a concept that helps other skills from bouncing a basketball to using scissors.

·         Kindermusik literature books and home CDs are strategically integrated to provide an expressive musical reading experience that truly brings a story to life.  By capturing your child’s attention, these books invite more focused concentration on reading.

·         Music that ranges from jazz and classical to long-time children’s favorites is mixed with cultural tracks to provide an extraordinary array of musical listening – while enlightening your child to differences in our very diverse world.

·         Creating new lyrics with interactive tracks on the home CD provides creative opportunities for personalizing songs and enhancing language skills.

·         Award-winning literature books are highlighted by imaginative stories, delightful illustrations, and visually appealing images and characters – factors that help promote a love of reading.

·         Home instruments are uniquely designed for Kindermusik with equal regard to developmental, musical and safety standards to guarantee the best musical experience possible.

·         Documenting and personalizing activities and developmental growth helps create a family history and lifelong memories.

·         Foundations of Learning statements highlight developmental benefits to help you better understand how your child learns.

 

Extend your Kindermusik experience all week long

Your At Home materials have been thoughtfully constructed and integrated to provide optimum learning connections for your child beyond the classroom.  By utilizing those components on a regular basis, you’ll not only find new ways to enjoy your time together, but you’ll maintain your child’s enthusiasm for Kindermusik all week long. 

 

Together, you’ll make more than music.  You’ll make special memories while promoting a lifetime love of music and learning.  Kindermusik isn’t a one-day-a-week activity.  It’s a weeklong celebration of music and family activities.
