Kindermusik
We'll laugh, play, sing, dance, explore, share and learn our way through Kindermusik class. Kindermusik is one of the world's leading music and movement classes for children. Its teaching philosophy is based on 30 years of research and experience in the field of childhood development.
Every song and story has a carefully chosen purpose in this creative curriculum. A Kindermusik educator will guide you every step of the way so you know how each activity contributes to your child's overall growth and development.
"Take-home" books, instruments and CDs from class let you take learning with you wherever you go, all while strengthening the emotional bond between you and your child.
So whether it's twirling under a sea of scarves, experimenting with age-appropriate instruments, singing about a scampering squirrel, creating a musical ensemble, or snuggling in your lap during story time, Kindermusik speaks your child's language and opens you and your child up to a lifelong love of music and learning.
