Kindermusik Family Time®
Let Music Bring You Closer as a Family
In ten weeks, you'll play instruments together, dance together, share, and take turns, and see how music can bring you closer as a family.
A one-room schoolhouse approach to music. With older children ready to show the little ones how it's done and the younger ones eager to learn, Family Time becomes a multi-layered learning environment. Each week, a Kindermusik Educator will introduce basic musical concepts and then give you the instruments, and the structured free time to put those concepts into play. Watch a Video to see what Kindermusik Family Time is all about.
Your children will listen to instruments and to each other, learn from their peers and older children, and enjoy music and movement with hoops, scarves and tumble-around play. Story time and family jams, puppet play and happy singing—all the Family Time activities encourage discovery and exploration and foster sharing and social skills too. In this special place for musical, social and emotional learning, your children will strengthen their ties with each other and with you—and they'll start developing the skills they'll need in school and on the neighborhood playground.

Kindermusik At Home
Kindermusik is much more than a weekly class. While we plant the seeds of learning through music in the classroom, you will use the specially designed materials at home to cultivate lifelong learning.
Sample At Home Materials for »Our Kind of Day«
The At Home Materials are included in the class fee and will be yours to keep! Family Time At Home Materials are designed for two children.
Enjoy the Journey All Week Long
Each family receives a set of At Home Materials designed to integrate the classroom learning experience with the fun, Friday night activities you do together as a family. With music from class, story books, and creative play ideas and trivia, At Home Materials help your children associate learning with the unique time you spend together, bonding as a family. Repetition and family involvement in a child's learning is a fundamental cornerstone of the Kindermusik philosophy because we believe the parent is the child's most important teacher and the home is the most important place for a child's learning to take root and grow.

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.
