Why Music in English
Children are gowing up today in a multi-lingual world and Kindermusik can help them develop confidence and skill in the English language from a very young age – through music!
Reseach shows that:
Children should learn languages early.
Children’s brains are ready and eager to learn languages early. In fact, the sounds of a new language should be introduced before a child is 9 months old. The earlier a child learns the language, the more proficient he or she will be in that language. Research also shows that learning a second language at an early age will make it easier for the child to learn other languages later in life.
Learning languages early makes children smarter.
Children who learn multiple languges early are more cognitively advanced in analytical reasoning, concept formation, cognitive flexibility & metalinguistic skills.
Music helps children learn languages better.
Music supports the development of phonological awareneess which is linked to better pronunciation and better decoding of written language.
Repetition is a key component in learning a language.
The Kindermusik At Home Materials will give children the repeated exposure to the English language throughout the week.
These are some of the reasons parents in Germany are eager to have their children exposed to English at an early age. And what better way to do that than through Kindermusik!

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.
