Benefits of Kindermusik
Musical Learning is More Than Music Alone
Kindermusik® International has more than 25 years of experience creating curricula based on new and proven research in child development.
Our effective teaching methodology is based on the music education philosophies of Orff, Kodály, Laban and Dalcroze and the work of early childhood experts like Piaget, Montessori, Greenspan and Brezelton. Current research that shows music is a powerful stimulant for a child's total development is continually incorporated in the writing of all curricula.
Language development in a multi-lingual world
Music education is one of the best ways to support a child's language development. Our programs incorporate language activities beginning with sound identification and imitation, baby's first words, to storytelling. Whether English is your child's first language, second or third, our seven-year program supports their growing knowledge and confidence in using the language.
Physical development
Children learn through movement so we move! Free dance, circle dances and finger play help your child gain awareness of her body and improve her coordination.
Cognitive development
Current research has proven that music-making and music listening skills as well as balancing, tapping a steady beat and the ability to count help children later on in critical and creative thinking needed for math, reading, problem solving and concentration.
Social development
In class children enjoy time with others their own age and have the opportunity to practice some necessary skills such as self-discipline, taking turns and sharing.
Emotional development
One-on-one parent and child interaction nurtures self-esteem. Music bonds families, creates communities and soothes the soul.
Musical development
Rhythm, instruments, singing, dance and a wide variety of musical styles are introduced to your child throughout the seven-year program.
What Parents are saying!
My daughter started Kindermusik Village Class at the age of 4,5 months and she enjoyed the singing, dancing and swaying a lot. As she grew, so did her interest in instruments grew and now, at the age of 2, she loves to sing the songs and dance to the music. We now visit Family Time class so our little boy (6,5 months) can also benefit from such early musical experience. I'm glad to have discovered Kindermusik which does not only have a positive effect on the children's listening and coordination skills but also on their language development and self-esteem. It surely is the beginning of a lifelong love of music.
