Imagine your child swinging softly in a blanket or dancing with you around a maypole.  Kindermusik Village provides a delightful environment unlike any other…an engaging experience of learning and bonding with your baby.  Through a unique blend of multi-level activities that includes creative movement, vocal play, object and instrument exploration, and a colorful literature component, your baby’s growth and development are stimulated and all of his senses engaged.

 

Village classes are 45-minute classes once a week, designed for children to participate with a parent, grandparent, or other special grown-up.   Classes are multi-age groups of children including lap babies, crawlers, and walkers, with activities adapted to benefit children at each stage.  The units we offer this winter are Hickory, Dickory, Tickle and Bounce and The Rhythm of My Day.  A new feature in these units is the introduction of basic American Sign Language as a glimpse into the benefits of signing as a communication bridge for young toddlers as they learn to talk. 

 

Hickory, Dickory, Tickle and Bounce focuses on feeding a baby’s language development through the rhythms of familiar nursery rhymes.  Lessons focus on steady beat, up & down, and the distinctive sounds of major, minor, and other modes.

 

The Rhythm of My Day is designed to help parents incorporate music into many of the daily routines in a baby’s life.  Establishing these daily rituals helps babies and toddlers develop security and the confidence to become more independent, and to develop a baby’s sense of identity, cultural heritage, and family traditions.  Lessons focus on diversity of sound, stop and go, syncopation, and the vocal pattern “Sol-Mi”
