When Children Find Their Voices, They Find Much More as Well.

What if, by age six or seven, your child had found a confident, joyful voice for singing and speaking...and yet had also learned to listen with quiet, focused attention? What if your child could participate delightedly in group ensembles, and could use spontaneous movement to express feelings? Would this say anything about your child's potential as a musician or artist? Perhaps. But more significantly, it would mean your young child had already received important lessons for living and learning. This is the purpose of the Kindermusik series, which uses music to encourage early learning and creativity in children 18 months to 7 years of age. Music is the means, not the goal. The goal is a more alive, creative and able child.

Kindermusik for the Young Child is the final part of the four stage Kindermusik curriculum. Since each age and stage provides unique learning opportunities, enrollment in Kindermusik for the Young Child doesn't require prior Kindermusik experience. The first Kindermusik curriculum stimulates the lives of babies birth to 18 months of age. The second Kindermusik series enriches the lives of children 18 months to 3 years of age. The third Kindermusik program is for children 3 1/2 to 5 years. Kindermusik for the Young Child broadens and deepens the music experience for children ages 4 through 7. Meeting each week, up to 12 children explore many facets of the musical experience - speaking, singing, moving, listening, creating, playing percussion instruments and learning about writing and reading music notation. The objective of Kindermusik for the Young Child isn't necessarily to make your child a musician. Instead, Kindermusik begins the musical learning that will enrich every life, whether it leads our child to Carnegie Hall, a church choir or the keys of a family piano.

Any parent will confirm that 5 and 6 year olds approach the world with a very definite mindset. Young children are highly impressionable, but hardly blank slates. Each child is guided by his or her own inner drives and learning instincts. One of the best ways to make a deep, positive impression on these young explorers is through music and movement. Why? Because no other learning vehicle so completely embraces the whole child. Your child's entire sensory, emotive and cognitive self responds positively to the Kindermusik for the Young Child experience. The results are profound. Watch any Kindermusik class and you'll see the process: Joyful learning that can influence the entire course of your child's early life. That's why Kindermusik provides unique support for your child's development.
